The Mathematics Department of the University of Pittsburgh invites 
applications for an endowed Mellon Chair to begin Fall 2026. Mellon 
Chairs are the most prestigious academic appointments at the University 
of Pittsburgh.  Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in mathematics or related 
disciplines, have an outstanding research record, and be acknowledged 
leaders in their fields of expertise in the mathematical sciences.  In 
addition to scholarly accomplishments, the Department expects and highly 
values excellence in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate 
levels. The applicant should be committed to taking a collaborative 
leadership role in advancing the research profile and national and 
international reputation of our department.  The appointment will be at 
the Full Professor level.

We favor candidates with a record of creative scholarly collaboration as 
well as outstanding individual productivity. We ask that applicants 
demonstrate how their research and teaching interests would contribute 
to or augment our current research strengths:

Recognizing the crucial benefits that diversity contributes to our 
intellectual vitality, the University of Pittsburgh has embarked on 
significant initiatives to diversify its faculty, student body, and 
curriculum. We encourage applications from creative and dedicated 
scholars, teachers, and mentors eager to contribute to this mission.

The review of applications will begin on June 1, 2025, and will continue 
until the position is filled. Applicants should submit a cover letter 
containing a description of their research, teaching, and leadership 
profile; a full CV; and contact information (including email addresses) 
for at least three recommenders to math at pitt.edu.

Applicants who advance to the next stage will be asked to submit 
additional materials. Recommenders will be notified at that point to 
submit letters of recommendation via our online application system.

Please direct administrative questions to Jason Irwin (jai48 at pitt.edu). 
Other questions can be directed to search committee chair Juan Manfredi 
(manfredi at pitt.edu).

All appointments at the University of Pittsburgh are subject to 
budgetary approval.

The Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences is committed to building and 
fostering a culturally diverse environment. Excellent interpersonal and 
relationship-building skills and the ability to work effectively with a 
wide range of individuals and constituencies in support of a diverse 
community are required.
