Assistant Professor (Computational Mathematics)

The Department of Mathematics at SUNY Geneseo is seeking applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Computational Mathematics, with emphasis on the Mathematics of Computer Science to begin August 2027.

The mathematics of computer science is a broad area at the intersection of mathematics and computer science that investigates the mathematical foundations, design, analysis, and implementation of computation. It encompasses the development and analysis of algorithms, computational methods, mathematical models, and software, as well as the theoretical principles that underlie modern computing. Faculty working in this area may have expertise in subjects such as algorithms, applied mathematics, artificial intelligence, computability, computational complexity, computational mathematics, computer systems, discrete mathematics, machine learning, mathematical modeling, numerical methods, operations research, programming, software engineering, symbolic computation, or closely related fields. We welcome applicants whose work demonstrates a strong mathematical perspective on computation.

The Department of Mathematics (13 full-time members) encompasses pure, applied, and computational mathematics, as well as very strong secondary mathematics teacher preparation and actuarial programs, with a growing interest in data science. The department offers a B.S. in Applied Mathematics, B.S. in Mathematics, B.A. in Mathematics, B.A. in Mathematics with Adolescence (Secondary Education) Certification, Minor in Mathematics, Minor in the Mathematics of Computer Science, and Concentration in Mathematics for Elementary Education.

Our priority is teaching excellence. We seek a colleague with an enthusiastic commitment to undergraduate instruction at all levels, the ability to teach courses across the Mathematics and Mathematics of Computer Science curricula, and the vision to develop new courses that will strengthen and expand our existing Mathematics of Computer Science minor. The successful candidate will play a central role in helping the department expand the current minor towards a full undergraduate major while maintaining an active program of scholarship involving undergraduate students whenever appropriate.

Duties include:
