The Mathematics Department at Florida State University invites applications for a Fall 2018 tenure-track Assistant Professor position in financial mathematics and related fields. The Department seeks outstanding applicants with research interests that complement existing faculty in financial and applied mathematics, and who can support the Financial Math MS and PhD programs, currently with 40 MS and PhD students and six affiliated faculty.
Candidates for the position should hold a PhD in mathematics or a closely related field, have a strong research record in areas related to financial mathematics, and a commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring at the graduate and undergraduate levels.  Other desirable qualifications include postdoctoral experience and a clear potential to obtain external funding and develop interdisciplinary collaborations within and outside the Department.
The Financial Mathematics program is 20 years old and has graduated over 40 PhD students since 2004, placing them in jobs in industry, academia, and government. The MS program is recognized as a Professional Science Masters program with internship opportunities and coursework across several participating departments. There are significant opportunities for a new hire to teach existing and new courses, supervise PhD students, collaborate with research-active colleagues, and contribute to ongoing program development.
