Employment Opportunities

The Department of Mathematics invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor, commencing 1 July 2022, or on a date mutually agreed upon. Exceptional candidates at any level will also be considered. The Department seeks an emerging scholar with a commitment to excellence in research and teaching. Outstanding candidates in any area of Mathematics will be considered, with particular emphasis on candidates who will complement or extend the Faculty’s initiative in network science, with a focus on the mathematics of network science in areas such as, but are not limited to, combinatorics, data science, functional analysis, graph theory, numerical analysis and topology.

The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. and preferably post-doctoral experience or other distinguishing attributes in Mathematics or a related field. The successful candidate will have a track record of high-quality scholarly research leading to peer-assessed publications; will either have, or demonstrate the potential to establish, an independent, innovative, scholarly, externally fundable research program; will have demonstrated strength in or strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions; and will exhibit evidence of the ability to work in a collaborative environment. Duties will include research with the expectation of establishing an externally funded research program, undergraduate teaching, graduate teaching and supervision, and service-related activities. In particular, the candidate will contribute to the data science undergraduate and graduate programs. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. To enhance our department and create role models for a diverse population of students, we particularly invite applications from those who can support and enhance our diversity, including women, Indigenous peoples, other visible minorities, and those committed to a diverse environment.

The Department currently has 23 full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members, one half-time professor, and 9 Instructors, and offers a full range of both undergraduate and graduate programs in mathematics and its applications. The Department has a well-established and equipped research facility, including computers, software and IT support, and is supported by strong research links with other University of Manitoba departments including the Departments of Biological Sciences, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Statistics. Further information about the Department can be obtained from https://sci.umanitoba.ca/mathematics. Winnipeg is the largest city in the Province of Manitoba.

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba invites applications from outstanding young researchers in the mathematical sciences for nomination for PIMS Postdoctoral Fellowships for the year 2022-2023 (the fellowship may be taken up at any time between 1 September 2022 and 1 January 2023). This fellowship is for one year and is renewable, contingent on satisfactory progress, for at most one additional year. Successful candidates will each be expected to teach two courses per academic year. The value of this fellowship at the University of Manitoba is $60,000 per year.
Eligibility:
1. Ph.D. or equivalent (or expected to be awarded by 31 December 2022).
2. Research overlaps with the Department’s existing areas of research strength (successful candidates have to be nominated for the fellowship by one or more professors in the department).
How to apply: Application process consists of two steps.
Step 1 (this should be done as soon as possible but no later than 15 November 2021).
Applications should be submitted online at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/18201 (this page if you are reading this on mathjobs.org). Applicants should upload
(i) cover letter containing the name of the person or people in the department whose research overlaps with the applicants research areas (applicants are strongly encouraged to contact these people to discuss common research interests) — applications without this information will not be considered;
(ii) curriculum vitae;
(iii) research statement;
(iv) publication list;
(v) information about teaching experience (if any);
(vi) applicants should also arrange for at least two reference letters to be uploaded;
(vii) special justification statement if the time from Ph.D. is longer than 3 years.

Step 2 (deadline: 1 December 2021) This should be done only after Step 1 is completed, and only if the applicant received a confirmation email from the PIMS-UofM Site Director that he/she will be nominated for this fellowship.
(i)Complete application (cover letter, CV, list of publications, research statement, EDI statement, reference letters) should be uploaded through the main PIMS application page on MathJobs https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/17212.
(ii) Letters of nomination from the Department should be uploaded through the same page on MathJobs (note that applications without nomination letters will not be considered).
