Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Scholar position in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky beginning in Fall 2015. The successful candidate is expected to pursue a vigorous research program and to deliver high quality teaching. The teaching expectation is three courses per academic year, normally two courses during one semester and one course the other semester. The initial appointment will be for one year and is expected to be renewed for a total of three years, subject to satisfactory performance. While outstanding applicants from all mathematical research areas will be considered, preference will be given to those with research interests compatible with existing research areas in the department. It would be helpful for applicants to indicate a potential faculty mentor.

Applicants should have completed the Ph.D. degree by the time the appointment begins and are expected to present evidence of excellence in research and teaching.

All application materials must be submitted online at http://www.mathjobs.org/jobs. Applications submitted by December 1, 2014 will receive full consideration; however applications will be reviewed as they are received.

The University of Kentucky values diversity, is located in an increasingly diverse geographical region, and has progressive work-life policies. The mathematics department actively seeks qualified individuals to increase the diversity of our faculty. Members of under-represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
