A job in combinatorics typically involves studying and applying mathematical principles related to counting, arranging, and optimizing discrete structures. Professionals in this field often work in academia, computer science, cryptography, operations research, and data analysis. Their tasks may include solving combinatorial problems, developing algorithms, analyzing network structures, and contributing to advancements in artificial intelligence and optimization.
Professionals specializing in combinatorics often work on projects that involve analyzing and optimizing complex systems, such as developing efficient algorithms, designing networks, or studying patterns within large datasets. Common tasks may include formulating mathematical models, conducting research, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams in fields like computer science, operations research, or engineering. Depending on the sector, projects might focus on cryptography, data science, bioinformatics, logistics, or scheduling. The work environment is typically collaborative and may involve both independent research and teamwork, offering opportunities for innovation and continuous skill development.
To excel in a role focused on combinatorics, you need a solid background in mathematics, particularly discrete mathematics and advanced problem-solving skills, typically supported by a degree in mathematics, statistics, computer science, or a related field. Proficiency with mathematical software such as MATLAB, Mathematica, or programming languages like Python is often expected, along with experience in algorithm development or research tools. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills in this field. These competencies enable accurate problem modeling, efficient collaboration, and the innovative application of combinatorial techniques to real-world challenges.

DescriptionThe Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts & Sciences at Baylor University invites applications for a tenure‑track Assistant Professor position to start in August 2027. Applications must be complete and received no later than October 1, 2026. For details about the position and to apply, see apply.interfolio.com/187223.
We seek candidates with research and teaching interests in combinatorics, broadly construed, who will contribute positively to the department’s culture of outstanding research, innovative teaching, and dedicated service to undergraduate and graduate students. Candidates should demonstrate a strong research record, clear plans for developing an active research program, and the potential to secure external funding. The successful candidate will also demonstrate promise as an effective teacher and research mentor at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Candidates who are outside of the United States and do not have other nonimmigrant visa status will not be sponsored for an H‑1B petition.
ResponsibilitiesAn earned doctorate in mathematics or a closely related discipline is required by the time of appointment.
Candidates must demonstrate a record of research accomplishment and clear plans for further developing an active research program. Candidates should also provide evidence of their potential to secure external grant funding.
Candidates must demonstrate potential for, or experience in, teaching mathematics and mentoring student research at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
A research statement addressing past and current research accomplishments, as well as plans for developing an active research program.
A teaching statement addressing teaching and mentoring experience, teaching philosophy, and approach to student mentorship.
At least three confidential letters of recommendation, at least one of which must address teaching; see additional instructions below.
A transcript from the highest-degree-granting institution; an unofficial copy is acceptable at the application stage.
A completed self-disclosed Religious Affiliation Form.
Candidates invited for an on‑campus interview will be required to provide an official transcript.
Complete applications must be submitted by 11 PM Central time on October 1, 2026.
Baylor University, a private not-for-profit university affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, is committed to compliance with all applicable anti-discrimination laws, including those regarding age, race, color, sex, national origin, military service, genetic information, and disability.
