We are open to candidates from a variety of mathematical perspectives who want to join a department dedicated to challenging undergraduate students in the classroom. Candidates with teaching interests in abstract algebra, number theory, or geometry; candidates who use computation in their research and teaching; or candidates interested in interdisciplinary collaborations are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will demonstrate interest in a residential college environment and enthusiasm for teaching a broad range of mathematics courses at all levels of undergraduate curriculum.

The department is dedicated to innovative student-centered pedagogy through active learning methods, growth-focused grading practices, and mentoring students from a wide range of backgrounds. The candidate is expected to establish a strong individual research program that incorporates undergraduate students when appropriate.

Beyond the department, the successful candidate should also be an active participant in the campus community and interested in mentoring a diverse array of students consistent with the college's commitment to a Good Neighbor Culture.

Teaching responsibilities included a broad range of courses: core courses in the mathematics and computer science curriculum, electives in the candidate's area(s) of interest, and Foundations (general education) offerings. Tenure-track faculty typically teach 18 credit hours per year, which translates to 5-6 courses per academic year. Support for undergraduate teaching assistants and undergraduate research assistants is available through Berry's LifeWorks program. The candidate will also be supported in applying for Project NExT or other professional development programs.
