THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
AUSTIN, TEXAS 78712
Expected openings for Fall 2013 include: (a) Instructorships, some that have R.H. Bing Faculty Fellowships, RTG Postdoctoral instructorships, a joint Internship with the Dana Center, attached to them, and (b) possibly two or more positions at the tenure-track/tenure level.
(a) Instructorships at The University of Texas at Austin are postdoctoral appointments, renewable for two additional years. It is assumed that applicants for Instructorships will have completed all Ph.D. requirements by August 14, 2013. Other factors being equal, preference will be given to those whose doctorates were conferred in 2012 or 2013. Candidates should show superior research ability and have a strong commitment to teaching. Consideration will be given only to persons whose research interests have some overlap with those of the permanent faculty. Duties consist of teaching undergraduate or graduate courses and conducting independent research. The projected salary is $56,000 for the nine-month academic year. Each RTG Instructor will have a nine month academic rate of $56,000 which is supplemented by a travel allowance of $3000 and $10,000 Summer stipend for the first year and possibly second year, pending availability of grant support.
Each R.H. Bing Fellow holds an Instructorship in the Mathematics Department, with a teaching load of two courses in one semester and one course in the other. The combined Instructorship-Fellowship stipend for nine-months is $56,000, which is supplemented by a travel allowance of $1,000. Pending satisfactory performance of teaching duties, the Fellowship can be renewed for two additional years. Applicants must show outstanding promise in research. Bing Fellowship applicants will automatically be considered for other departmental openings at the postdoctoral level, so a separate application for such a position is unnecessary.
An Instructorship with joint appointment in the Mathematics Department and the Charles A. Dana Center will teach undergraduate or graduate courses, conduct independent research, and work on significant educational improvement project. The combined Instructorship stipend for nine-months is $56,000. Pending satisfactory performance, the appointment can be renewed for two additional years. Applicants should show superior research ability and have a strong commitment both to teaching and to the improvement of mathematics education, either at the K-12 level or in higher education. Consideration will be given only to persons whose research interests have some overlap with those of the permanent faculty and with the work of the Dana Center (www.utdanacenter.org).
Simons Postdoctoral/Instructor Fellow is a two year postdoctoral position, with possibility for renewal for a third year, is open in the Department of Mathematics as part of the Math+X Simons Chair created in September 2012 at the University of Texas at Austin (https://simonsfoundation.org/funded-programs/math-x). The teaching load will be one course per academic year. The position is focused on “spatial stochastics”. This includes e.g. random graphs, point processes and stochastic geometry and covers both the static case and the dynamic cases, with e.g. random evolutions of random spatial media. Research topics motivated by applications to communication, social, biological or other classes of information networks are welcomed. The projected salary is $56,000 for the nine-month academic year. The nine-month academic rate of $56,000 will be supplemented by a travel allowance of $3,000 and $10,000 Summer stipend for the first year.
