Position Description

The Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for two or more ladder rank faculty positions at the ranks of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. Candidates in all areas of pure and applied mathematics are encouraged to apply. Associate and Full Professorships carry tenure while Assistant Professor positions are regarded as tenure-track.

The University strives to hire new faculty members who not only excel in research, but are also committed to the University's wider objectives. Serious consideration will be given to the candidate’s potential for success in mentoring PhD students, for teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and for effective leadership. Serious consideration will also be given to professional service, including service promoting access to and diversity in higher education and the academic profession.

All Berkeley faculty have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to ensure equity and inclusion in their research, teaching, and service, so that the diverse community of students and colleagues they work with will feel a sense of belonging and thrive. In advance of an invitation to a campus visit, potential finalists will be contacted to schedule an on-line interview on the topic of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) and to submit a DEIB statement. Guidelines for all the required statements may be found at https://math.berkeley.edu/employment/guidelines-job-applicants.

The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. Consistent with this commitment, UC Berkeley requires all applicants for Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload an Authorization of Information Release form into AP Recruit as part of their application. If an applicant does not include the signed authorization, the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any incomplete application, will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, applicants will only be subject to reference checks if and when they are selected as the candidate to whom the hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer. More information is available on this website.

Applications must be submitted online via AP Recruit.
