The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics
An NSF Mathematical Sciences Institute at Brown University, Providence, RI
Please share this information with any colleagues who may be interested in this announcement.
The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) invites applications for the position of Deputy Director for a term of two to three years, beginning July 1, 2013.
ICERM is a National Science Foundation mathematics institute at Brown University in Providence, RI, with a focus on broadening the relationship between mathematics and computation. ICERM runs semester-long research programs and topical workshops, as well as special events and programs such as its Summer@ICERM undergraduate research program, the NSF-SAVI Virtual Institute for Mathematics and Statistical Sciences (VI-MSS), and a postdoctoral IdeaLab (starting summer 2013). ICERM's programs and activities, including VI-MSS, can be reviewed at its web site: http://icerm.brown.edu.
ICERM is managed by a Director, two Deputy Directors, and assisted by several Associate Directors who are charged with special projects or responsibilities.
The Deputy Director at ICERM holds a half-time administrative appointment and is expected to be in residence at the institute for half the year while on leave from their home institution.
A Deputy Director should have a Ph.D. in mathematics or a related field, and is expected to make material contributions to scientific discussions of programmatic activities and events. First consideration will be given to applicants with a research background in an applied or computational field of mathematics and a broad perspective of research activities. A courtesy visiting faculty appointment in the appropriate department at Brown will be provided.
The Deputy Director reports to the Director and works closely with all ICERM staff.
Each Deputy Director has broad areas of responsibility:
- Oversee the details of one of the two annual semester programs at ICERM, including the development of program proposals, coordinating the preparation of the program, and working with organizers during the program.
- Oversee some of the additional institute activities: topical workshops, summer undergraduate research program (Summer@ICERM), postdoctoral IdeaLab, and special events.
- Assist in the solicitation and development of programs and workshops.
- Assist with grant proposals to support existing and new programs and initiatives.
Applicants should submit a cover letter and CV to dire...@icerm.brown.edu and arrange for two reference letters to be sent to dire...@icerm.brown.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
Brown University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
