primarily as on-campus lectures, but sometimes delivered by
VTE. Candidates will also be expected to conduct an active program of
research and to direct student theses. The successful candidate for
this position will possess a doctorate in Mathematics or a closely
related area from an accredited university. Teaching experience is
highly desirable and evidence of exceptional research potential is
necessary. All areas of research will be considered, but preference
will be given to candidates specializing in areas of computational
discrete mathematics that support existing departmental research
efforts. Effective teaching is essential and candidates must have
excellent communication skills (both written and oral), as well as strong
interpersonal and organizational abilities. U. S. citizenship is required.

Applicants must submit a cover letter describing their qualifications
for these positions, a comprehensive curriculum vitae or resume and
contact and e-mail address information for a minimum of three
references. The application material must clearly state the

research on and development of methods for coupling components of a
climate model. The specific areas of interest are (1) numerical
integrators for coupled atmosphere-ocean models, (2) advanced time
stepping methods such as partitioned, implicit-explicit and multirate
schemes, and (3) analysis of deficiencies in current climate model
coupling methods. The candidate will participate at all the stages of
the implementation of the resulting methods from prototyping in
high-level languages to development in a high performance-computing
environment. The candidate will be part of the CANGA project
(canga-scidac.org): a team that includes computational mathematicians,
climate model experts, computer, and earth system scientists. The
candidate will work with staff of both the Environmental Science and
