DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
AUSTIN, TEXAS 78712
Expected openings for Fall 2009 include: (a) Instructorships, some that have R.H. Bing Faculty Fellowships attached to them, and (b) possibly two or more positions at the tenure-track/tenure level.
(a) Instructorships at The University of Texas at Austin are postdoctoral appointments, renewable for two additional years. It is assumed that applicants for Instructorships will have completed all Ph.D. requirements by August 18, 2008. Other factors being equal, preference will be given to those whose doctorates were conferred in 2007 or 2008. Candidates should show superior research ability and have a strong commitment to teaching. Consideration will be given only to persons whose research interests have some overlap with those of the permanent faculty. Duties consist of teaching undergraduate or graduate courses and conducting independent research. The projected salary is $43,000 for the nine-month academic year.
Each R.H. Bing Fellow holds an Instructorship in the Mathematics Department, with a teaching load of two courses in one semester and one course in the other. The combined Instructorship-Fellowship stipend for nine-months is $52,000, which is supplemented by a travel allowance of $1,000. Pending satisfactory performance of teaching duties, the Fellowship can be renewed for two additional years. Applicants must show outstanding promise in research. Bing Fellowship applicants will automatically be considered for other departmental openings at the postdoctoral level, so a separate application for such a position is unnecessary.

In addition to the duties indicated above for Instructors, such an appointment will typically entail the supervision of M.A or Ph.D. students.
