Applications are invited for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position 
in biomathematics at Florida State University, beginning August, 2020. 
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in mathematics or a related discipline 
and postdoctoral experience in some area of biomathematics. The ideal 
candidate will have experience working with experimental data, and will 
pursue collaborations with experimental scientists. The position is 
joint with the Institute of Molecular Biophysics (IMB), whose core 
mission is to facilitate interdisciplinary research related to the 
biological sciences on campus. The IMB hosts an interdisciplinary 
graduate program in Molecular Biophysics, and there is a separate 
interdisciplinary graduate program in Neuroscience on campus. The new 
hire could participate in either or both programs, in addition to the 
graduate program in biomathematics. The Mathematics Department is also 
an active participant in a new initiative on Data Science at the 
university, and with this hire seeks to strengthen the ties between 
mathematical data science and biomathematics.

Florida State University is one of two flagship research universities in 
the State University System of Florida, and is ranked number 18 among 
all public universities in the country by U.S. News and World Report. 
The university enrolls over 40,000 students in the main campus of 
Tallahassee. Tallahassee is located in north Florida and has a 
population of roughly 190,000. It is adjacent to the Appalachicola 
National Forest and about twenty-five miles from the Gulf of Mexico, 
with easy access to pristine beaches and other natural habitats. 
Tallahassee has a warm climate, with an annual average high temperature 
of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and an annual average low temperature of 56 
degrees Fahrenheit.

The Mathematics Department offers BS, MS, and PhD degrees in 
biomathematics, as well as degrees in several other areas of 
mathematics. The biomathematics curriculum includes courses within 
mathematics as well as courses offered in other departments. There are 
currently 19 undergraduate majors and 19 MS or PhD students enrolled in 
the biomathematics program. See http://www.math.fsu.edu/biomath and 
http://biophysics.fsu.edu for more information.

Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research 
and teaching statements, and four letters of recommendation (at least 
one of the letters should address the candidate's teaching capability). 
They should be submitted electronically through MathJobs.org  and, in 
addition, through the FSU Employment and Recruiting Services website 
http://www.jobs.fsu.edu/ (Job opening ID 46351).

The deadline for applications is November 30, 2019. Screening of 
applications will begin on December 2, 2019. The Department anticipates 
filling this position by August 1, 2020.
