The WPI department of Mathematical Sciences invites applications for a Tenure Track position to begin in Fall 2016. The broad focus is in those areas of mathematics which can support WPI\'s research and education initiatives in cybersecurity. Examples of areas of interest include applied algebra, logic, number theory and combinatorics; topological data analysis; quantum information theory; compressed sensing and mathematics of signal processing. We seek candidates who show mathematical strength as well as great promise to contribute to WPI\'s growing interdisciplinary security initiative. Outstanding candidates in other areas will also receive full consideration.

The successful applicant is expected to lead a high quality research program and collaborate with other departmental faculty to further develop WPI’s cybersecurity programs. He/she will be expected to contribute to the teaching mission of the department both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Mathematics, or in a related area. Salary, benefits and start-up funding are competitive and commensurate with research experience and accomplishments.

Qualified applicants should submit a detailed curriculum vitae, a statement of specific teaching and research objectives, and four letters of recommendation at least one of which addresses teaching experience or potential, via mathjobs. Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2015 and will continue until the position is filled.

WPI is an equal opportunity employer, committed to enriching education by increasing diversity of its faculty, and students. We encourage applications from individuals from underrepresented minorities in the Mathematical Sciences.
