The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at The University of the South, commonly known as Sewanee, invites applications for multiple Visiting Assistant Professor positions that will begin in August 2022, each with the possibility of either conversion to a tenure-track position or renewal beyond the initial one-year appointment. Each of these positions carries a teaching load of 3 courses per semester and requires a Ph.D. in mathematics, statistics, or computer science; those with experience and/or interest in supporting our Department’s new Data Analytics program are especially encouraged to apply.

The Department seeks colleagues who are committed to

• excellence in teaching across the curriculum,
  
• scholarship in a liberal arts environment,
  
• close student mentorship, and
  
• engagement in the broader community, 

all of which should be addressed in the application. A careful review of applications for these positions will begin on December 15, 2022 and will continue until the positions have been filled.

A complete application includes the following:

• a cover letter that includes an overview of current and anticipated research activity,
  
• a curriculum vitae,
  
• a statement of teaching philosophy in a liberal arts setting that demonstrates a commitment to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion,
  
• an (unofficial) graduate transcript, and
  
• three letters of recommendation, at least one of which addresses the applicant's teaching in detail.
  

The University of the South includes a nationally ranked residential College of Arts and Sciences and a School of Theology. The University is strongly committed to the values of intellectual inquiry, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and living and serving in community. Situated on 13,000 acres atop Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau, Sewanee is known for its stunning natural beauty while providing easy access to Chattanooga, Nashville, and Huntsville. The University is affiliated with the Episcopal Church and seeks to help employees of all backgrounds and identities flourish.

Eligibility for employment is contingent upon successful prescreening.
