Tenure/Tenure Track Faculty

The Department of Applied Mathematics at Illinois Institute of Technology invites applications for two tenure-track or tenured faculty members open rank beginning in August 2023. The focus of this search is in the area of data science and related fields. The Department of Applied Mathematics, in the College of Computing, has 18 tenured/tenure-track faculty. We offer B.S. through Ph.D. degrees, including a nationally ranked Master of Data Science in partnership with the Department of Computer Science. We teach mathematics, statistics, and data science to nearly all undergraduate students at Illinois Tech and many graduate students as well. The department is a vibrant research hub where faculty members conduct research in many areas of mathematics and statistics with a wide range of applications such as data science, engineering, and other applied fields of science. Our research is funded by various government agencies and private companies. The new hire is expected to bolster our ongoing research and teaching in one or more of these areas. More details about the department can be found at https://www.iit.edu/applied-math. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. degree in mathematics, statistics, or a closely related discipline. Candidates must also have demonstrated the potential for outstanding, externally fundable research and be dedicated to excellent teaching.

Illinois Institute of Technology is a private Ph.D.-granting research university with world-renowned programs in engineering, architecture, the sciences, humanities, psychology, business, law, and design. Founded in 1890, Illinois Tech was born differently. It was built on the promise set forth in minister Frank Wakely Gunsaulus’ “Million Dollar Sermon” to provide access to higher education for students from all different backgrounds and to make a difference in the world through technology-oriented education. This guiding mission and purpose – where students, including those underrepresented in technology, could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing industrial society and achieve professional and economic advancement – remains just as relevant today. Thus, diversity and inclusion are part of the day-to-day experience at Illinois Tech and the centerpiece of its culture. As such, Illinois Tech is home to a diverse and global student population, is committed to providing opportunities to enhance the diversity of its faculty and staff, and strongly encourages applicants from all backgrounds to apply for this position, especially those underrepresented in the field, including, but not limited to, women, African Americans, Latinx, Indigenous peoples and others.

To apply, please submit the following through www.MathJobs.org: i) a cover letter expressing your interest in the position and highlighting how you can contribute to our departmental mission; ii) curriculum vitae; iii) succinct teaching and research statements; iv) A succinct statement on the candidate’s commitment to equity and inclusion in education—this statement should address specific past and/or potential contributions to the equitable and inclusive delivery of academic instruction and support to and research mentorship of students from a diverse background of countries, cultures and socioeconomic conditions; v) at least four confidential reference letters (one addressing teaching effectiveness) should also be submitted through MathJobs. 

Questions regarding this position may be addressed to Professor Chun Liu, Chair, Department of Applied Mathematics, or 312-567-8983. Applications will be reviewed starting early December 2021, and on a continuing basis until the position is filled.
