Assistant Professor of Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics in the College of Science at Purdue University invites applications for three or more multiple appointments in Mathematics to begin August 2025.  We are seeking outstanding applicants in core areas of mathematics, pure and applied.  These appointments will be at the level of assistant or associate professor.

Successful candidates will combine an outstanding record of research excellence with a commitment to effective and engaged teaching.  They are expected to develop a vibrant research program supported by extramural funding, teach undergraduate and/or graduate mathematics courses to a diverse student body, and supervise graduate students. They will participate in the governance of the department, the College of Science, and Purdue University by serving on faculty committees.  Senior faculty will also mentor junior faculty.  Appointments will be made based on demonstrated research and teaching qualifications. Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or its equivalent) in mathematics or a closely related field.  

These positions come at a time of engaged leadership and growth in the College of Science - Purdue's second-largest college, comprising the mathematical, physical and life sciences.  Research within the Department of Mathematics spans multiple areas of pure and applied mathematics and extends to collaborations with partners across science and engineering.  

There is also a large-scale interdisciplinary hiring effort across key strategic areas in the College, including mathematical and computational foundations, quantum computation, and data science.

Applications should be submitted online through www.mathjobs.org and should include (1) the AMS cover sheet for academic employment, (2) a cover letter, (3) a curriculum vitae, (4) a research statement, and (5) four letters of recommendation, one of which discusses the candidate's teaching qualifications. In addition, for purposes of equity, to be considered for the position, applicants will also need to create a profile at SuccessFactors.  Reference letter writers should be asked to submit their letters online through www.mathjobs.org. Direct all inquiries to mathexec@purdue.edu. Applications are considered on a continuing basis but candidates are urged to apply by October 15, 2024 for full consideration.
