Assistant Professor In Residence

The Department of Mathematics expects to have openings for Assistant Professors in Residence beginning in Fall 2012. These are nine-month, non-tenure track positions at the Storrs campus, are annually renewable for a maximum of three years, and are open to candidates who have received a Ph.D in Mathematics or Mathematics Education within the last four years. They are particularly suitable for candidates preparing for a career as faculty at institutions with an emphasis on teaching excellence or mathematics education. In particular, the committee will be looking for specific evidence in the application of outstanding teaching. Applicants with an interest in mathematics education are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Mathematics Department has active programs in various areas of mathematical research including Mathematics Education which works on issues of K-20 education, with particular emphasis on mathematics content. This group works closely with the Center for Research in Mathematics Education based in the Neag School of Education. Successful candidates who are interested in Mathematics Education will have an opportunity to work on writing and implementing grants within these units.

The teaching load for the positions is 7 courses a year, approximately 21 credits annually. This load can be reduced through activities such as teaching large classes or coordinating multiple sections of a course.

Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in Mathematics or Mathematics Education within the last four years, and a record of outstanding teaching. The review of applications will begin on January 26, 2012, and continue until the position is filled. Applications and at least 3 letters of reference should be submitted online at http://mathjobs.org. Questions or requests for further information should be sent to APiR Hiring Committee at aprhiring@math.uconn.edu.
