Tenure-Track Mathematics Position
The Mathematics Department at Bucknell University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in mathematics to begin August 1, 2025. We expect to hire at the Assistant Professor level. Dedicated teacher-scholars from all areas of mathematics are encouraged to apply. Qualifications for the position include a Ph.D. in Mathematics or a closely related field, a strong commitment to teaching, and a high potential for research. We seek a colleague who will contribute to the department's focus on inclusivity and its liberal arts mission and we welcome candidates who demonstrate excellence in reflective multicultural and inclusive teaching practices and who display a strong commitment to collaboration and interdisciplinarity.

Applications include a cover letter, curriculum vita, graduate transcripts (unofficial copies accepted), a teaching statement, and a research statement. We ask that you address your interest in working at a primarily undergraduate institution in your cover letter and/or teaching statement. Your teaching letter should include how your experiences, knowledge, skills, and/or past accomplishments will contribute to equitable and inclusive teaching, broadly defined as including classroom instruction, advising, mentoring, and other educational experiences. Any discussion of undergraduate research should appear in the research statement. More information and suggestions for these documents can be found here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tdF6QIlRASTrxW1fY--zL8KVtGg9q4ZIMWdEY7OuTYs/edit?usp=sharing. Please submit these and all other supporting materials electronically at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/24820

Please arrange for three letters of recommendation (at least one of which addresses teaching beyond what may be found in student evaluations) to be uploaded at mathjobs.org. Review of applications will begin no later than November 18, 2024, and will continue until the position is filled.

Bucknell University is a private, highly ranked, primarily undergraduate, national liberal arts institution that also offers strong professional programs in engineering, management, education, and music.

Bucknell is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The university believes that students learn best in a diverse, inclusive community and is therefore committed to academic excellence through diversity in its faculty, staff, and students. We seek candidates who are committed to Bucknell's efforts to create a climate that fosters inclusion, growth, and development for a diverse student body, and we encourage applications from members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education.

The university sponsors a range of activities to support the development of its faculty, including a Teaching-Learning Center and generous research support and leave policies. Bucknell has entered a partnership with Geisinger Health System to promote research and educational collaborations in addition to the newly established Dominguez Center for Data Science.

Bucknell is located in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, on the banks of the Susquehanna River. The Lewisburg area offers a combination of outdoor recreation opportunities and small-town amenities. In addition to the cultural and athletic events offered at the University and in town, the region offers strong schools and medical facilities, and an affordable cost of living.
