The Department of Mathematics at Oklahoma State University invites applications for the position of Director of the Mathematics Learning Success Center (MLSC). This is a  non-tenure-track faculty position offering an initial three-year appointment with annual review.  Primary duties are to oversee the MLSC, an 8000 square foot tutoring and computer assisted learning center which offers drop-in and scheduled learning resources for mathematics courses ranging from college algebra up through differential equations and linear algebra. The MLSC Director will hire undergraduate coordinators and undergraduate tutors and will develop training programs for new tutors, in coordination with the faculty. The Director will also develop innovative programs to support instruction and enhance student learning and success in mathematics.

The Department of Mathematics of Oklahoma State University invites applications for two temporary postdoctoral positions beginning Fall 2012. Applicants should have completed their Ph. D. within the last five years. These are one-year appointments, which if funding is available, may be renewed for a second year. The duties include research and teaching, with a typical teaching load of 6 hours per semester. Mathematicians with research interests close to those of the permanent faculty may receive preference.

One letter of recommendation should appraise the candidate's teaching abilities. Full consideration will be given to applications received by November 15, 2011. However, we will continue to accept and consider applications until the positions are filled.

OSU is in the midst of a major fundraising drive, Branding Success. One part of this is a donation by Boone Pickens of matching funds for scholarships. Scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students is an important need of the Department of Mathematics. In order to take advantage of the matching funds the donation must be at least $50,000. That is too large for most of our alumni and friends. The Department is able to pool the donations of many in order to reach the matching level as long as the donations are to a single endowment fund. Also donations do not have to be immediate but can be pledged and contributions made over the next five years. Pledges must be received by Oct. 31, 2010 Feb. 26, 2011 (deadline extended).

Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic forms (TORA) is a series of conferences hosted in rotation by Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of North Texas. The TORA meetings will bring together the automorphic forms and representation theory community of the South Central region to hear about recent research in automorphic forms and representation theory. Scheduled to run April 6-8, 2012 in Stillwater.
