Faculty Positions, Department of Mathematics
Subject to availability of funding, the Penn State Mathematics Department will seek to fill openings for S. Chowla Research Assistant Professors and for tenure and tenure track faculty positions.
S. Chowla Research Assistant Professor
Successful candidates will be new or recent Ph.D.s with exceptional research potential and a commitment to excellence in teaching. These non-tenure-track appointments are for three years. Starting salary is $51,500 for the nine month academic year. The Chowla program is designed to maximize the professional development of its participants and provides a research stipend. The Department may in addition make other postdoctoral appointments. Applicants for the Chowla position will automatically be considered for these appointments also. Initial offers will be made in January 2013.
Tenure or Tenure Track Faculty Position
Candidates from all areas of mathematics will be considered. A Ph.D. degree or its equivalent is required. One position has been budgeted for candidates with actuarial credentials.
Online application via www.mathjobs.org is strongly preferred. Review of applications will begin November 15, 2012 and will continue until positions are filled. Required application materials include:
- Online application
- At least three reference letters, one of which should address in detail the candidate's abilities as a teacher
- Curriculum Vitae
- Publication List
- Research Statement
- Teaching Statement

Cyberscience
Penn State is embarking on a transformative cluster hiring initiative in cyberscience – computation – and data-enabled science and engineering – to lead through cyber-enabled innovation in interdisciplinary research. This cross-college endeavor will coordinate multiple faculty appointments to develop new functional capabilities centered on data, models, and simulation for deeper insights into the critical problems in Science and Engineering.
We seek outstanding faculty who can work across disciplines and in a team to advance algorithms, software, and theory to exploit “Big Data” and “Big Simulations” for scientific discovery and engineering design in a variety of disciplines.
The Department of Mathematics is seeking candidates who have a strong research record or have demonstrated potential with expertise in mathematical modeling, analysis, and simulations for data-and computation intensive problems arising from all areas in physical, engineering, life , and social sciences. Candidates with experiences in large-scale simulations using parallel multicore architectures and heterogeneous computer systems are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants are required to have a Ph.D. in mathematics (or closely related discipline) and have a strong teaching record. The successful candidate is expected to actively collaborate with colleagues across the campus to engage in Penn State’s Cyberscience initiative, and to pursue external funding for interdisciplinary research with a strong mathematical component.

Cluster Hire in CyberScience: Computational Biology
The Pennsylvania State University
This search is part of a Penn State CyberScience Cluster Hire in Computation and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (see http://www.ics.psu.edu/hire.html). Penn State has
embarked on a transformative cluster hiring initiative in cyberscience (computation- and data-enabled science and engineering), coordinating multiple faculty appointments across
colleges to develop new functional capabilities centered on data, models and simulation for deeper insights into critical problems in science and engineering. We seek outstanding
faculty who can work across disciplines and in a team to advance algorithms, software and theory to exploit "Big Data" and “Big Simulations” for scientific discovery in a
variety of disciplines. Multiple positions at any academic rank are available.
As part of this initiative, several departments in the Eberly College of Science are conducting a combined search emphasizing computational biology. Participating
departments are Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, Statistics, Mathematics and Physics. Our goal is to appoint outstanding faculty utilizing large-scale computation
and data-intensive methods and interdisciplinary approaches to advance functional genomics, evolutionary biology, population genomics, genotype-phenotype
relationships, biological networks, bioinformatics, and other areas of biology.
Applications should be submitted as a single pdf document via email to Traci Shimmel (tshimmel@psu.edu). Document should include the letter of application, CV, a brief
description of research plans, and contact information of three referees. PLEASE REFERENCE JOB NUMBER 38704.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until positions are filled.
Employment will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.
