Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Faculty Position in Mathematics Description The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor in mathematics to begin in August 2025. Preference will be given to candidates whose research is in computational mathematics. We are looking for candidates who use computational tools in their chosen area of research and can bring this experience into their teaching. Candidates will be expected to teach at all levels of the curriculum and contribute to the instruction and development of courses with a substantial computational aspect. In addition, we seek applicants who are interested in working with students on undergraduate research projects. This position carries a 3-2 teaching load with a research leave prior to tenure review of either a full year at 80% salary or a semester at full salary, and generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty. To enable a smooth transition to Holy Cross, new full-time tenure-track Assistant Professors receive start-up funding to support their research and professional development and have a one-course reduction in their first year of teaching (i.e., 2-2). All full-time appointments offer competitive salaries and full benefits. Faculty at the College cultivate a richly diverse academic community, pursue innovative teaching, and create high-impact scholarship.
