Position description

The Department of Mathematics at the University of California at Davis invites applications for one Assistant Professor (tenure-track) faculty position starting July 1, 2025. The Department of Mathematics has identified Analysis of Partial Differential Equations and Algebraic Geometry as priorities.

Minimum qualifications for the position include a Ph.D. or its equivalent in the Mathematical Sciences or a related field and demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching and research. Duties include mathematical research, undergraduate and graduate teaching, and departmental, university and professional service.

Applications include: Cover Letter, CV, Research Statement, Teaching Statement, Letters of Reference and a Statement of Contributions to Diversity. Additional information about the Department may be found at http://www.math.ucdavis.edu.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. To guarantee full consideration, the application should be received by November 1, 2024. The application is available through UCRecruit @ https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06602.

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment, UC Davis conducts a reference check on all first choice candidates for Academic Senate Assistant Professor or Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment, Steps 4, 5, or 6, or Acting Professor of Law positions. The reference check involves contacting the administration of the applicant’s previous institution(s) to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UC Davis requires all applicants for any open search for assistant professor to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application. If an applicant does not include the signed authorization with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any incomplete application, will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists considered for Academic Senate Assistant Professor or Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment, Steps 4, 5, or 6, or Acting Professor of Law positions will be subject to reference checks.
