Oklahoma State Department of Mathematics  

Positions Available

The Department anticipates filling four tenure-track positions beginning Fall 2006. Exceptionally qualified individuals may be considered for appointment at a rank higher than Assistant Professor. Applicants should have outstanding research potential and have made major contributions beyond their doctoral research. Candidates should also be committed to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education; the usual teaching load is 6 hours per semester. The Department seeks accomplished individuals in any field of mathematics, but preference may be given to enhancing one of our existing research groups, particularly, applied math/PDE, algebraic geometry, Lie groups, number theory, or analysis.

The Department also invites applications from recent recipients of the Ph.D. for several temporary postdoctoral positions beginning Fall 2006. These are one-year appointments which are typically renewed for a second year. Appointment to these positions does not preclude future consideration for a tenure-track position. The duties include research and teaching, with a teaching load of usually 6 hours each semester. Mathematicians with research interests close to those of the permanent faculty may receive preference.

All applicants should submit a curriculum vita, abstracts of completed research, and a statement regarding teaching experience, and have 4 letters of recommendation sent to the address below. One letter of recommendation should appraise the applicant's teaching abilities. Applicants should use the AMS standardized form: Academic Employment in Mathematics, Application Cover Sheet, and indicate their subject area using the AMS subject classification numbers. Full consideration will be given to applications received by

December 2, 2005.

Paper versions of all the application documents must be submitted to the address given below. A TeX version of the standard AMS cover sheet is found here:
