The Department of Math and Statistics anticipates the appointment of an Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics beginning August 2024. Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, mathematics, statistics, or a related field by the appointment start date.

The Department seeks candidates pursuing fundamental research in all areas of applied mathematics, such as, but not limited to, numerical analysis, optimization, scientific computing, machine learning, applied and asymptotic analysis, dynamical systems, and mathematical statistics. Preference will be given to candidates whose work has significant applications in the biological, engineering, or physical sciences and who can foster ties with other units on campus and with local national laboratories and industries. The Department's current strengths in applied mathematics include numerical analysis, high performance computing, nonlinear waves, continuum and fluid dynamics, biological modeling, uncertainty quantification, multigrid methods, electromagnetics, and classical relativity.

Albuquerque has a rich heritage and boasts a vibrant scientific environment that provides many opportunities for research collaborations and funding. UNM houses the Center for Advanced Research Computing, the Center for Quantum Information and Control, and the Center for High Technology Materials, among others, and it is near Sandia National Laboratories, Kirtland’s Air Force Research Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. 

UNM is the premier research university in New Mexico, and is a Carnegie Highest Research Activity Institution and a federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution. New Mexico is a majority minority state and UNM’s student population is among the most diverse in the country. Our campus is located in the heart of Albuquerque, which has cultural, outdoor and recreational opportunities for everyone.  UNM is located on the traditional homelands of the Pueblo of Sandia.  The original peoples of New Mexico – Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache – and their connection to this land remains significant.  Learn more about our city, our welcoming campus, and research opportunities at http://advance.unm.edu/why-abq/ and  https://advance.unm.edu/why-unm/.
