SEIDMAN" Subject: Faculty Position Available at UMBC Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1998 Faculty Position at University of Maryland Baltimore County The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) has a faculty position in applied mathematics beginning Fall 1999. The position is anticipated to be at the tenure-track assistant professor level. The candidate should have an earned doctorate in mathematics or a related field and be able to interact with one or more of the department's existing groups in optimization, numerical analysis, PDEs and systems theory. The applicant should have an active, independent research program and strong potential for obtaining external funding. The department offers BS, MS and PhD degrees in applied mathematics and statistics. Please refer to the web page http://www.math.umbc.edu for more information. A vita, three letters of reference and a summary of the candidate's current research program should be sent to: Applied Mathematics Recruiting Committee, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD 21250. Screening of applications will commence December 15, 1998 and will continue until the position is filled. UMBC is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Contributed by Thomas I.
