The Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington announces the availability of an assistant professor (tenure-track), and an open-rank faculty position to start in September 2021. Candidates will be considered for the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank, either tenure-track or tenured, depending upon experience and qualifications. Candidates with expertise in any areas of applied mathematics are encouraged to apply. Areas of emphasis within the department for these searches are (in alphabetical order) data science, dynamical systems, numerical analysis, scientific computing and stochastic analysis. Compensation will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Both are full time positions on a nine-month basis.

The department has current research strength in scientific computing and numerical analysis, nonlinear waves and coherent structures, mathematical biology, atmospheric science and climate modeling, mathematical methods, mathematical finance, data-driven methods, optimization etc., and has a long tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration. Candidates can complement these existing strengths or they can bring in new areas of expertise. See http://depts.washington.edu/amath/ for more details. The Department is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic community: visit https://amath.washington.edu/diversity. All UW faculty members engage in teaching, research, and service.
