Faculty Position Opening
Tenure-track position starting Fall 2010. We seek someone who appreciates the rich balance of pure and applied mathematics that our department presently enjoys, and we will give priority to applicants whose research lies in Algebraic or Differential Geometry, Computational Mathematics, Dynamical Systems & Ergodic Theory, or fields which similarly bridge the research interests of our department.

Bowdoin’s mathematics curriculum reflects the department’s belief that mathematics is important both for its practical applications and for its beauty. A broad program of courses has been designed to serve students with a wide range of interests.
The department also participates in an interdisciplinary major in mathematics and economics and an interdisciplinary major with computer science, offering courses in discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, optimization, and combinatorics and graph theory in support of these interdisciplinary fields. In addition, the department has recently started to develop an interdisciplinary program in mathematical biology.
