The Department of Mathematics at Bowdoin College invites applications for a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor starting Fall 2013. Preference will be given to applicants with proven teaching excellence and whose professional interests lie in applied mathematics, including mathematical biology. In addition, Bowdoin is building an environment in which students and faculty from across the disciplines can employ computational approaches to enrich their work; we therefore welcome applications from candidates who can contribute to this effort. The teaching load is two courses per semester. Ph.D. preferred, advanced ABDs considered.

Bowdoin College accepts only electronic submissions. Please visit http://www.MathJobs.org to submit a cover letter, AMS application cover sheet, resume, statement of research and/or professional activity plans, statement on teaching philosophy, and at least three letters of recommendation.

Review of applications will begin Monday, March 25, 2013, and will continue until the position is filled.
