Job description
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at St. Mary’s College of Maryland invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Mathematics beginning August 2024. The successful applicant will be an outstanding teacher with a commitment to attracting and retaining students from underrepresented groups. The new hire will be able to teach a wide range of undergraduate mathematics courses, and be dedicated to the liberal arts tradition. The teaching load is three courses per semester. We seek candidates with a commitment to maintaining an active research program with the potential to involve undergraduates. This position is open to all areas of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics.
Applicants should have expertise in an area of mathematics, applied mathematics, or statistics, and hold a Ph.D. in a mathematical field at the time of appointment. Applicants who are awaiting their dissertation defense may be considered, but would be hired as an Instructor until the completion of their Ph.D.
Non- sectarian since its founding, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public Carnegie Baccalaureate, Arts and Sciences institution located in St. Mary's City, 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., has been designated as Maryland's public honors college. With selective admissions policies, academically talented students, and a rigorous curriculum, we offer a small college experience similar to that found at exceptional private colleges. St. Mary’s faculty benefit from a comprehensive program of support for scholarship, research, travel, and curriculum development, including course releases for pre- tenure faculty and leaves for tenured faculty. The quality of life is enhanced by the recreational opportunities of the Chesapeake region and by our proximity to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

In support of inclusive hiring practices, we also request three professional references (rather than letters of recommendation) at the time of application. Of these three references, at least one reference should speak to the candidate's disciplinary expertise and at least one should have seen the candidate deliver or design classroom instruction. References will be contacted only for candidates who advance to finalist interviews. Applications are being accepted online at: . Questions may be directed to Professor Alex Meadows.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Applications received before December 1 will receive full consideration.
