Postdoctoral Appointment
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Nevada, Reno invites applications for postdoctoral positions to start in Fall 2013, subject to availability of funds.

These positions are open to candidates who have completed a doctoral degree. All positions require a PhD in mathematics, statistics or equivalent by August 15, 2013.
Screening of applicants will begin 05/15/2013 and continue until positions are filled. EEO/AA Women and under-represented groups are encouraged to apply.
Applicants should submit a cover letter outlining their areas of research interest and teaching experience, curriculum vitae and three letters of reference. At least one of these letters should specifically address teaching.

Chair/Professor
The University of Nevada, Reno invites application for position of Chair, Department of Mathematics and Statistics. We seek a dynamic individual with demonstrated leadership abilities who will build on departmental strengths, recruit outstanding faculty, promote scholarly initiatives – especially in terms of externally supported grant efforts – and be an advocate to both internal University and external constituencies. The Chair must be familiar with and supportive of “core math instruction” across a typical University campus. The ideal candidate will be active in the mathematical sciences profession, knowledgeable about diverse career paths, and able to prepare highly-qualified students for graduate and professional schools. Applicants must have a PhD and scholarly record meriting appointment as a full professor. The area of specialization within the discipline is open.
The department currently has 29 full-time positions, with 20 either tenured or tenure track. Academic programs leading to the award of the B.S./B.A and M.S./M.A. in Mathematics and Statistics are well subscribed with over 100 majors and approximately 40 graduate students. After several years where the University faced cuts to programs, the department and University are poised for growth. A PhD program proposal has been developed and the new Chair would guide that proposal to completion. We expect future faculty and post-doctoral hires. All tenured and tenure track faculty maintain active research programs across a range of disciplinary sub-areas with current multi-faculty strengths in C* Algebras, Topology, PDEs and Geo-Statistics. More information about the department and its faculty can be found at http://www.unr.edu/math.
