Job Vacancy Announcement
Two Assistant or Associate Professors
CASI is a
new, university-wide initiative at ASU to further research and teaching in this
new and exciting domain. The successful candidates would also participate in
the Mathematical, Computational and
www.mcmsc.asu.edu. Faculty members
involved in these new initiatives have a strong commitment to education through
research and an equally strong commitment to student diversity. Current
research strengths include anthropology, bio-economics and environmental
economics, ecology, epidemiology, ecology of infectious diseases, immunology,
neurobiology, public health, and sustainability. They collaborate extensively
inside and outside the university in the social sciences, mathematics and
science education, biological sciences, medicine, and environmental sciences.
We are
particularly interested in candidates who are able to engage in research that
crosses traditional academic boundaries while addressing scientific challenges
whose answers are tied in to the study of complex processes over multiple
levels of organization and several temporal and spatial scales. The areas of
application include, but are not limited to, computational epidemiology,
computational ecology or computational social sciences.
Minimum
qualifications include a Ph.D. in the computational, mathematical or
statistical sciences with a research emphasis in the application of the
mathematical sciences in the life and/or social sciences by August 2010, and
familiarity with the tools of the complex adaptive systems and/or network
approaches.
Successful
candidates will be expected to conduct research and publish in an area
appropriate to their expertise, including complex adaptive systems,
computational and theoretical ecology and epidemiology, social networks and
social dynamics. Successful candidates will provide quality teaching of
undergraduate and graduate courses in the new applied mathematics in the life
and social sciences degrees. They will also mentor undergraduate and graduate
students involved in trans-disciplinary research, participate in oncampus interdisciplinary
activities and carry out appropriate professional service.
Candidates
should have demonstrated computational and modeling skills in the context of
interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research. Candidates at the assistant
professor level must also have demonstrated potential for excellence in
research and teaching at all levels. Candidates at the tenured associate
professor level must have demonstrated excellence in research and teaching at
all levels, and should have experience advising graduate students with diverse
backgrounds and interests. All candidates must have experience in mentoring
undergraduate students.
All
application materials must be submitted online at http://mathjobs.org and
include:
1. A
curriculum vitae;
2. A personal
statement addressing the candidate’s research agenda;
3. A
statement of teaching philosophy and commitment to broaden participation in the
mathematical sciences
4. A
completed AMS Standard Cover Sheet
5. At least
four letters of recommendation, including one that addresses teaching.
Review of
applications will begin on February 15, 2010 and will continue weekly until the
searches are closed.
