About the Department
Our Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science (MSCS) Department includes thriving programs in mathematics, statistics and data science, computer science, mathematical biology, and mathematics education. While maintaining disciplinary rigor, we promote interactions and synergy among MSCS programs and across the college. The entire department works together to provide excellent learning environments for our students. We celebrate and share multiple pedagogical approaches, we support each other in wisely stewarding departmental resources, and we meet regularly to make decisions together. Furthermore, our department is committed to the work of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and we seek a tenure-track colleague who will contribute to inclusive excellence, engage undergraduates in innovative research, and teach a variety of courses across our Computer Science curriculum.

Possibilities abound for collaborative research; projects involving undergraduates are supported by St. Olaf's Collaborative Undergraduate Research and Inquiry program. Additionally, our Center for Interdisciplinary Research is a nationally recognized program that pairs MSCS faculty and students with faculty and students from other disciplines to share in the excitement and challenge of working across the traditional academic boundaries to collaborate on research. The St. Olaf mathematics program is among the largest and most successful at American undergraduate institutions, annually graduating about 75 mathematics majors. The statistics and data science program is also vibrant; as a new major, its inaugural class (2028) is slated to graduate over 50 students. The computer science program is growing quickly, doubling the number of majors (from the 20's to the 40's) in just a few years. This tenure-track search is an expansion of the CS program that recognizes its explosive growth. St. Olaf is among the nation's top undergraduate origins of PhDs in the mathematical sciences.  For more information about the department, visit wp.stolaf.edu/mscs.
