Candidates will be considered across a wide range of research and teaching interests in mathematics and statistics. Current curricular needs are greatest in areas of applied mathematics and data science. The Mathematics program offers a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, a minor in Mathematics, and, jointly with the School of Business, a minor in Actuarial Science.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the success of the program in several ways, including developing and teaching impactful courses that support our students' educational and vocational aspirations, engaging in research that involves undergraduate students, and through service to the program, department, and school.
The Mathematics program prides itself on its success in engaging undergraduate students in research. In the past we have hosted an NSF-funded REU site in mathematics six times, and our faculty have also been involved in hosting a Sloan Foundation REU site and MAA-funded NREUP. Outside of funded sites, the faculty are encouraged to engage students in independent research and study projects.
The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching a diverse range of undergraduate mathematics courses, potentially including the calculus sequence, linear algebra, differential equations, analysis, abstract algebra, numerical analysis, probability and statistics, and other mathematics courses. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an active research agenda, resulting in scholarly publications published in reputable journals and conferences; pursuit of external funding to support research endeavors will also be strongly encouraged, and engagement of undergraduate students in research is expected. The successful candidate will be strongly encouraged to pursue opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, both in teaching and research, with a particular focus on opportunities that benefit undergraduate students, with an expectation of active engagement in service activities across the campus and the university, including involvement in committees, initiatives, and projects that contribute to the overall development and mission of the school and the institution.

Our faculty members are dynamic educators who engage in innovative, evidence-based pedagogies. We offer seventeen degrees (fourteen undergraduate, three graduate), eleven minors, and two graduate certificates across four Departments (Biological Sciences, Computing and Software Systems, Engineering & Mathematics, Physical Sciences). The school is housed in several buildings on a vibrant campus collocated on a restored 100-acre wetland with an active salmon stream, including the 74,000 square-foot Discovery Hall teaching and laboratory facility, and our new 80,000 square-foot STEM building, Innovation Hall - the first shared academic building between a community college and university in the country.
Located in the heart of the Puget Sound region, the University of Washington Bothell is one of the most dynamic public universities in the state of Washington. UW Bothell is a student-centered campus known for engaging students through classes, team projects, and research in which students connect what they learn or create in the classroom with the broader community. This is achieved through close relationships with faculty members as teachers and mentors, and staff dedicated to student success. The academic work of the campus focuses on cross-disciplinary research, connected learning, and community engagement, and prepares students for leadership in the state of Washington and beyond.
The campus offers more than 55 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in five schools. Current UW Bothell enrollment is over 6,000 students. More than 90% of undergraduates are from Washington State, and approximately 40% are first-generation college attendees. The priorities of the University's current Strategic Plan - "Expanding Access, Achieving Excellence", are to enhance community and campus engagement, and advance cross disciplinary teaching and scholarship. In addition to award winning faculty and staff, UW Bothell has been recognized for innovations in academic programming and support services designed to help students graduate on time and debt-free. It has also earned both recognition and awards for its work in the area of environmental sustainability and is just one of twelve institutions selected to join the launch cohort of the Postsecondary Data for Action Network (PDAN), a new national initiative co-led by the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) and the Association for Institutional Research (AIR).
