[FOM] faculty positions at the Pennsylvania State University

[Stephen G Simpson]

Dear Friends and Collegues,

This year our Department of Mathematics here at the Pennsylvania State
University is seeking to fill two faculty positions.  One of the areas
to be emphasized is Logic and Foundations!

In addition, we usually hire some postdocs.  Some of these 3-year
positions are known as S. Chowla Research Assistant Professorships and
are very desirable.

The relevant web page is http://www.math.psu.edu/hiring/.  Here are
some excerpts from that page:

   Faculty Positions, Department of Mathematics

   Subject to availability of funding, the Penn State Mathematics
   Department will seek to fill openings for S. Chowla Research
   Assistant Professors and for tenure and tenure track faculty
   positions.

   S. Chowla Research Assistant Professor

   Successful candidates will be new or recent Ph.D.s with exceptional
   research potential and a commitment to excellence in teaching. These
   non-tenure-track appointments are for three years. Starting salary
   is $50,000 for the nine month academic year. The Chowla program is
   designed to maximize the professional development of its
   participants and provides a research stipend. The Department may in
   addition make other postdoctoral appointments for two or three year
   terms. Applicants for the Chowla position will automatically be
   considered for these positions. Initial offers will be made in
   January 2010.

   Tenure and Tenure Track Faculty Positions

   The Department is seeking to fill two or more positions; dependent
   on the qualifications and experience of the appointee, these may be
   at the assistant, associate or full professor level. Areas of
   emphasis for hiring are Dynamical Systems and its applications;
   Geometry, including algebraic geometry; Logic and
   Foundations. However, outstanding candidates from all areas of
   mathematics will be considered. A Ph.D. degree or its equivalent is
   required.

   Online application via www.mathjobs.org is strongly
   preferred. Review of applications will begin November 23, 2009 and
   will continue until positions are filled. 

If you are interested in any of these positions, please apply, and let
me know!

Best wishes,
