Rank is dependent upon the applicants qualifications (a Ph.D. in mathematics for Visiting Assistant Professor a masters in mathematics for Lecturer).

The Department offers B.A. degrees in mathematics and engineering mathematics and minors in computer science mathematics physics and data analysis. In addition the Department hosts a preEngineering transfer program and participates in a consortium through which students can obtain majors in web design and information technology. Emphasis is placed on teaching excellence in the context of a churchrelated college; research and professional development are encouraged and supported. The teaching load is the equivalent of four threehour courses per semester. For Fall 2025 the teaching load will primarily consist of service courses.

The successful candidate would join a team of two physicists and four mathematicians who value active learning in the classroom and the systematic development both in class and in extracurricular activities of communication and collaboration skills in addition to the critical thinking and problemsolving skills typically associated with the study of mathematics. We also valueand have always enjoyedstrong collegiality both within the Department and across campus.

Students in our Department often participate in either our institutions Science Honors Program which funds a summer of undergraduate research or in its Oxford Honors Program under which our mathematics majors can spend one or two terms at Oxford University.

Scholarly interests among the current mathematicians include operator algebras abstract algebra mathematics education undergraduate statistics education mathematical modeling data science and the history of mathematics. We welcome candidates from any mathematical specialty but in particular welcome applicants who could share in the teaching of a limited number of courses in elementary computer programming and data science.
