The Department of Mathematics of Furman University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level beginning in August 2016. We are seeking an individual with a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education. The ideal candidate would also have either a master’s degree or other coursework in mathematics at the graduate level. Furman University is a selective, national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2700 students located in Greenville, South Carolina. Additional information about Furman's Department of Mathematics can be found at http://furman.edu/math/
Candidates must be firmly committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship in mathematics education, and professional growth, and must have a willingness to work cooperatively with colleagues and students within a mathematics department in a small college setting. The successful applicant will often teach the sequence taken by certifiers in elementary education, but will have the opportunity to (and will be expected to) teach other courses in the undergraduate mathematics curriculum such as courses in the calculus sequence as well. The successful applicant will also work with Furman’s Department of Education to guide those students certifying in the teaching of secondary school mathematics.
A complete application must include the following: (1) a letter of application, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) undergraduate and graduate transcripts (may be unofficial), and (4) three letters of recommendation. The letter of application should address the candidate's interest in a position at a liberal arts college, and at least one of the letters of recommendation should address teaching.
All applications should be made through mathjobs.org. To guarantee full consideration, a complete application must be received by November 15, 2015, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
