Our department seeks candidates whose research develops and applies 
mathematical frameworks toward the understanding of challenging problems 
with societal or technological impact in areas such as the life 
sciences, quantum systems, and engineering. We are particularly seeking 
candidates who employ mathematically principled approaches for the 
design and analysis of novel simulation and computational methodologies, 
including those pertaining to data science, scientific machine learning, 
and optimization. Of special interest are candidates whose work could 
support RPI's initiatives in quantum research and education, or more 
broadly could align with the objectives of the Future of Computing 
Institute. This position is part of a faculty cluster hire funded by 
support from the Simons Foundation designed to stimulate research in the 
basic sciences across New York State.
