The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) seeks to hire a full-time, tenure track professor at the Assistant level. We seek faculty who will inspire and mentor students at all levels while ensuring high academic standards in a nurturing and learner-centered environment in keeping with our HBCU status. The successful applicant will teach a wide range of undergraduate courses in Mathematics from foundations courses for those students who might not be ready for college level work through upper level courses for Mathematics majors. They will also carry out an independent research program with undergraduate participation, advise and mentor undergraduates, and participate in University service as well as in community outreach activities. The successful applicant will work productively with students and colleagues of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences is one of four departments in the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM). Degrees include a Bachelors in Mathematics, Bachelors in Applied Mathematics, as well as a Master’s in Mathematics for Secondary Teachers. In addition, the department provides general education mathematics courses for all UVI students. The Department has research in pure and applied mathematics, as well as mathematics education.
CSM fosters, supports, and rewards excellence in teaching, research and service. Our academic programs emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, written and spoken communication, and other skills tailored to help students succeed.CSM is committed to helping students excel academically and achieve productive careers through programs in academics, research and community service.
