Assistant or Associate Professor in Analysis or Differential Equations

Position Description

The Department of Mathematics at Texas State University seeks applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor or Associate Professor (with tenure) with research specialization in Analysis or Differential Equations, with a start date of Fall 2027.

The successful candidate is expected to establish and maintain a strong record of high-quality research in Analysis or Differential Equations. Research expertise should primarily align with theoretical aspects of Analysis or Differential Equations. The successful candidate will teach mathematics or applied mathematics courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels and will show dedication to mentoring students. The successful candidate will also participate in self-governance of the department through service to the department, college, or university or engage in service to the mathematical community.

The Department of Mathematics is a growing department with a broad range of strengths in Analysis, Topology, Algebra, Combinatorics, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Logic, Data Science, and Mathematics Education. The department is excited to have started a new Ph.D. program in mathematics in Fall 2025 which complements its Ph.D. program in mathematics education and its master’s programs.

The department strives to create a welcoming environment that invites students from a wide range of backgrounds to major in mathematics and we invite applicants who are enthusiastic about mentoring students at undergraduate and graduate levels to reach their potential in mathematics.

The department is dedicated to success of its junior faculty, providing support through formal mentoring, reduced teaching and service loads, collaboration and collegiality, and opportunities to participate in university-wide professional development programs.
