Prospective Mathematics Faculty

The Mathematics Department at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology invites applications for a full-time faculty position at the Assistant Professor level, starting in the Fall of 2026. Successful candidates will be able to support our second-major program in data science, for which the department shares responsibility with our Computer Science and Software Engineering Department. Rose-Hulman’s mission is “to provide students with the world’s best undergraduate science, engineering, and mathematics education in an environment of individual attention and support.” If this resonates with you, then we think you’ll love what we have to offer.

We seek inspiring educators as a tenure-track Assistant Professor or recurring appointment-track Assistant Professor of Practice who will not only strengthen our degree program in data science, but could also support our programs in mathematics, biomathematics, computational science, or our minor in statistics. We will consider candidates with expertise in any area of the mathematical sciences, but experience that supports our data science curriculum – such as in areas of machine learning and data mining - is required.

Requirements for the tenure-track professor include a doctorate in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related field by start of employment; Professor of Practice requirements include a master’s degree in the mathematical sciences plus extensive experience in data science. Candidates are expected to have a strong commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching. Experience teaching undergraduate courses in the mathematical sciences with full responsibility is strongly preferred. Candidates who can broaden and enrich the educational experiences of our students and department through impactful research, innovative teaching and meaningful outreach that align with our programs, goals, and values are also preferred. 

Essential job functions include classroom teaching, curriculum development and continuous improvement, and participation in departmental activities. Every member of the department teaches both service courses (calculus, differential equations, statistics, etc) as well as advanced courses, primarily within their area of specialty. The department and institute place a high value on supporting all our students; candidates who are excited to enhance student engagement and community are especially encouraged to apply. Individuals who interact well with both students and faculty within our science, engineering and computer science programs are also encouraged to apply.

Rose-Hulman is an institute of technology with approximately 2100 undergraduate engineering, science and mathematics students, with most of the undergraduate students in the engineering disciplines. Every undergraduate student on campus is required to earn credit in at least five mathematics courses, consisting of calculus, differential equations and either statistics or probability. In support of our mission, our class sizes are small. As a result, our mathematics faculty is large (over 25) and we are able to offer a wide range of upper-level elective courses. More information regarding our department can be found at http://www.rose-hulman.edu/math.

Review of applications will begin on November 18, 2025 and will continue until the position(s) are filled. All completed applications received by November 18 will be given full consideration. To receive full consideration for this position, applicants are required to:

• Submit their complete application packet with all required materials, including at least three (3) letters of recommendation via MathJobs.org
