Open rank tenure-ineligible position in Applied Math

The School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS) at the University of Virginia (UVA) seeks candidates for an Academic General Faculty (AGF) position in the Center for Applied Mathematics (APMA).

The primary responsibility for this tenure-ineligible position is teaching undergraduate mathematics to students in SEAS. This includes teaching six APMA courses per academic year.
