Job description
The University of Richmond Department of Mathematics and Statistics invites applications for two tenure-track positions in mathematics at the level of assistant professor to begin August 2024. A doctoral degree in mathematics, applied mathematics, or statistics must be completed prior to the start date.
The department welcomes applicants from a variety of fields within mathematics. We are especially interested in candidates who are prepared to teach and advance our core mathematics major, which includes classes in abstract algebra and real analysis, and/or candidates who are prepared to support our mathematical economics major (https://math.richmond.edu/academics/mathecon/index.html). The successful applicant is expected to commit to highly effective teaching at all levels of the curriculum and to maintain a vigorous research program that has the potential to engage undergraduates in meaningful research outcomes.
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a vibrant program that equips students with theoretical and computational skills for success in many areas of employment, graduate school, and other post-graduation opportunities. The department aims to make mathematics accessible to all students and seeks colleagues who share these goals of broadening access to STEM disciplines in general, and mathematics in particular.
The University of Richmond is a private university located just a short drive from downtown Richmond, Virginia. Through its five schools and wide array of campus programming, the University combines the best qualities of a small liberal arts college and a large university. With nearly 4,000 students, an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, and more than 90% of traditional undergraduate students living on campus, the University is remarkably student-centered, focused on preparing students “to live lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a global and pluralistic society.”
The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body, and to modeling an inclusive campus community which values the expression of difference in ways that promote excellence in teaching, learning, personal development, and institutional success. Our academic community strongly encourages applications that are in keeping with this commitment.

Applicants should apply online at http://jobs.richmond.edu and submit a curriculum vitae, cover letter, teaching statement, and research statement. In the cover letter, candidates should include their experience and training with diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Candidates should provide the names and contact information of three references who may be asked, at a later date, to submit letters of recommendation. Review of applications will commence November 13, 2023, and continue until the position is filled.
