Job description

Description
The Department of Mathematical Sciences invites applications for a two or three-year Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow beginning August 2026. This twelve-month appointment has a teaching responsibility of three courses per academic year and one course per summer.
The Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow will be part of a vibrant teaching faculty and will be expected to engage in departmental and student activities. In addition to developing the Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow into a highly qualified candidate for permanent positions with a significant teaching component, the position will also provide an opportunity for the fellow to engage in research with Carnegie Mellon faculty and students.
Qualifications
A Ph.D. in mathematics or a closely related discipline is required. Applicants with backgrounds in all areas of mathematics and a strong interest in undergraduate mathematics education are welcome. Preference will be given to candidates who have shown outstanding promise or excellence in teaching. Candidates must also display evidence of a strong continuing research program and potential for mentoring and advising undergraduates. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.
This appointment requires teaching a Computational Linear Algebra for Data Analytics for masters degree students in the College's MS-DAS program. The course prioritizes intuition, real-world examples, and hands-on implementation over formal proof, and should be accessible to students from diverse academic backgrounds. Prior teaching experience with interdisciplinary audiences and familiarity with computational tools used in data analytics are preferred.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences has over forty tenure track and teaching track faculty members and supports around 60 graduate students and 400 undergraduate mathematics majors pursuing a variety of degree programs and concentrations.
Application Instructions
Applicants should submit all materials electronically through Interfolio and MathJobs. This includes a cover letter, a curriculum vita, a teaching statement, and a research statement. At least three letters of reference, with at least one addressing the candidate's teaching ability, will be solicited through Mathjobs.
For full consideration, applications should be submitted by January 1, 2026. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
Carnegie Mellon University is an equal opportunity employer. It does not discriminate in admission, employment, or administration of its programs or activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition, family status, marital status, parental status, religion, ancestry, veteran status, or genetic information.
