The Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts & Sciences at Case Western Reserve University invites applications for one or more faculty positions. Although rank is open and commensurate with qualifications, we prefer to appoint at the rank of assistant professor. We especially emphasize coordination with Department, College and University goals, including undergraduate teaching in the University's SAGES (Seminar Approach to General Education and Scholarship) program. Areas of preference identified to complement existing department activities include:

(1) Functional analysis, convexity theory and related high-dimensional phenomena, the area that recently has been often referred to as "asymptotic geometric analysis" and of which members of the Department are internationally recognized leaders. See http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/math/szarek/ and http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/math/werner/ for examples of recent research directions. Besides hires that would directly augment this research, the Department envisions expanding into related areas of non-commutative geometry/functional analysis or even theoretical computer science or complexity theory.

(2) Probability theory. Areas currently represented in the Department include large deviation theory and stochastic differential equations. As indicated on our website, the Department has researchers in a number of mathematical fields, and a candidate's potential ability to interact and collaborate with colleagues in other areas of mathematics will be regarded as a valuable asset. Candidates are invited to address this point. Case has strong presences in biomedical, engineering and other scientific areas and, in addition to strong theoretical credentials, a candidate's potential ability to interact and collaborate with colleagues in other disciplines will also be regarded as a valuable asset.

Notwithstanding the above, (3) exceptionally strong candidates in other areas will be considered. Depending on needs, (4) visiting positions/instructorships/lectureships may also be open. Indicate in which area you wish to be considered. The successful candidate will hold the Ph.D. or equivalent (Masters for lectureship) and have, relative to career stage, a distinguished record of publication, research, service, and teaching. Compensation commensurate with qualifications.

Case is an integral part of one of the major research medical complexes in the country. It also has a major presence in various science and engineering disciplines. Geographically, it is located on the eastern edge of Cleveland, in northeast Ohio, adjacent to University Circle, home to the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and many other cultural institutions. There is a wide variety of housing, schooling, and other amenities nearby.

The Department has approximately 20 faculty, with several focused research areas. The Department is responsible for service (beginning with calculus), majors, and graduate instruction. Nominal teaching load is 2/2. The Department has a dedicated 8 CPU computational server with an SGI 3D graphics front end. Facilities of the Ohio Supercomputer Center are also available.

Electronic applications only, to: James Alexander, math-faculty-position@case.edu, consisting of a letter of application, which indicates in which area of preference you wish to be considered, AMS cover sheet, a c.v., and the names and contact information for four referees to whom we may write. Evaluation of applications will begin December 15, 2005. Case is a recipient of a National Science Foundation ADVANCE institutional transformation grant to increase the participation of women in science and engineering. Case Western Reserve University is committed to diversity and is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. Applications from women or minorities are especially encouraged.
