Job Summary

The Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU Boulder) invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level to begin August 2025. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research brings together approximation theory, high-dimensional probability and stochastic processes, numerical analysis, and optimization to develop a comprehensive theoretical foundation of machine learning and modern artificial intelligence applications.
This position requires a commitment to supporting the diverse student populations in our department and its associated campus educational mission, a dedication to teaching in our undergraduate and graduate programs and developing and conducting an innovative independent research program. The department firmly believes that the effectiveness and creativity of a group is strengthened by contributions from a broad range of perspectives. As such, we particularly welcome candidates from groups that are historically underrepresented in our field and/or candidates who demonstrate leadership toward building an equitable and inclusive scholarly environment. The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
