Employment in the department

2007-10 Harold L. Dorwart Visiting Assistant Professorship

Information about this position will be posted as soon as it is available.

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous alumnus, the Department of Mathematics has established three visiting assistant professorships, named after the late Harold L. Dorwart, a long time member of the faculty. The goal of these three-year postdoctoral positions is to bring a steady flow of outstanding new mathematicians to Trinity. Each Dorwart assistant professor will be matched with a senior faculty member, who will be both a mentor and collaborator. One postdoctoral position will be filled each year.

The ideal candidate for the Dorwart assistant professorship will have both strong research potential and a commitment to teaching at a liberal arts institution. The teaching load is five courses per year; one of those courses will be a research seminar taught in conjunction with the senior faculty member. To make the positions as attractive as possible, the salaries will be extremely competitive and will be supplemented with a travel and research expense stipend.

Currently (academic year 2005-6) we are seeking applicants with a Ph.D. in mathematics and a specialization in functional analysis or graph theory (functional analysis preferred).

Closing date	None; the department will begin to read applications in early December, and applications received by December 1, 2006 will receive full consideration.
To apply	Submit a letter of application c.v. research summary statement of teaching philosophy three letters of reference, at least one of which addresses teaching to Search Committee Department of Mathematics Trinity College 300 Summit Street Hartford, CT 06106-3100 Phone: (860) 297-2357 Fax: (860) 987-6239

Representatives of the Search Committee will be at the Joint Mathematics Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, to participate in the Employment Center. Trinity College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Women and members of minority groups are encouraged to apply. Applicants with disabilities should request in writing any needed accommodations in order to participate more fully in the application process.

Anticipated fields in future years include continued fractions and special functions, geometric group theory, harmonic analysis, and microlocal analysis and spectral theory.
