Job Description

The new faculty member will join a collaborative group of 26 mathematics, statistics, and data science faculty who serve the entire university community.

We seek applications for a full-time, 9-month, non-tenure-track Assistant Professional Professor position to begin Spring 2027.

We are particularly interested in a colleague who has preparation and experience in teaching both lower-level and upper-level undergraduate mathematics and statistics courses.

Responsibilities:

• Teach undergraduate mathematics and/or statistics courses, including lower-division and upper-division courses.
• Contribute to ongoing course development and play a leadership role in common assessment and continuous improvement efforts.
• Participate in departmental and university service appropriate to a teaching-focused appointment.
• Support student learning and development through effective teaching, mentoring, and engagement with the various student bodies.

Workload: The standard teaching load is 15 credit hours per semester (typically five 3-credit courses), for a total of 30 credit hours over the 9-month academic year, plus related service activities. This is a teaching-focused appointment; research is not required.

About the Department

The Department of Mathematics & Statistics in the College of Science is committed to service excellence and strives to educate students at the University so that they are prepared to use mathematics intelligently in their chosen fields of study and to understand mathematics as and when it affects their lives and their participation in public affairs. The mathematics program prepares its majors and graduate students for careers in education, science, and commerce, and provides a solid foundation for further study in mathematics. We also strive to serve our community by providing expertise to local schools, industry, and business.
