Summer Math Institute Visiting Faculty Positions

The Summer Mathematics Institute at Cornell (SMI) aims to prepare undergraduate participants for the rigors of graduate school. We will target students who have just completed their junior year, but finishing sophomores and seniors are eligible to apply. The course work will be at the level of Cornell’s honors undergraduate algebra course.

Pending funding, SMI 2007 is expected to run from approximately June 9, 2007 to August 5, 2007 with about 15 students from underrepresented groups. We seek applications for two faculty positions: one to teach the algebra course and the other to supervise student research projects. Both positions will be supported by teaching assistants. The algebra course will meet five days a week with evening problem sessions. The research projects will be similar to REU, but with a smaller time commitment to allow students adequate time for course work. In order to complement the course work, we seek a faculty member who will direct research projects in an area other than algebra.

The expected compensation for each position will be $15,000 with a housing supplement. Applicants should be committed to our mission of providing a supportive and encouraging environment for SMI students. Applications should include a CV and the names of two references. The application deadline is January 15, 2007.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply electronically at www.mathjobs.org.
