Applications are invited for a tenure-track, academic-year Assistant Professor position in the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematical Sciences at the University of Rhode Island (URI) to begin Fall 2023.
The department has 16 research faculty members, 9 teaching faculty members, and 16 graduate teaching assistants. We offer programs leading to BA, BS, MS, and PhD degrees with applied math options at all levels and co-govern the Data Science Program, which houses a BA, BS, online graduate certificate, and online Master’s degree. The interdisciplinary nature of our department will provide the new faculty member with opportunities to interact with a broad range of colleagues in areas such as, Oceanography, Computer Science, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Biology, and Business.
Data Science is an area of tremendous growth for the department and the College of Arts and Sciences. University wide, investments have been made in hiring faculty who do research in data science or data-enabled science and in the research computing (data, high-performance computing, machine learning) facilities and support personnel to enhance their opportunities for success.
Candidates working in areas of gravity that include data analysis, ML/AI, are encouraged to apply. The University of Rhode Island has a strong gravity research group jointly with the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth — the UMass-URI Gravity Research Consortium (U2GRC). Current researchers in this group include Drs. Collin Capano (UMassD), Sarah Caudill (UMassD), Rob Coyne (URI), Scott Field (UMassD), Bob Fisher (UMassD), Doug Gobeille (URI), Gaurav Khanna (URI/UMassD), Michael Puerrer (URI) and Vijay Varma (UMassD). URI is a member of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration.
