The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Old Dominion University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant (Associate) Professor in Applied Mathematics to begin in Fall 2026. We seek candidates whose research lies in an area of applied mathematics that both complements and enhances the department’s existing strengths and supports the “mathematics for data science and AI” program.
The position carries a teaching load of two courses per semester, with a reduced load during the first two years to facilitate the development of a strong research program. In addition to teaching, the successful candidate is expected to actively pursue external research funding and supervise Ph.D. student research. Supervision of undergraduate research and participation in interdisciplinary collaborations—both within ODU and with external partners—are also encouraged. Candidates seeking an appointment at the rank of Associate Professor should have an outstanding record of research accomplishments and demonstrated leadership, including mentoring junior faculty and contributing to departmental strategic initiatives.
