Instructor/Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics - Multiple Positions

Visiting Assistant Professor of the Practice, Founding Director, ACMS Consulting Center - Two-Year Visiting Position


Instructor/Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics - Multiple Positions

The Department of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics (ACMS) in the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame is accepting applications for multiple faculty positions, which are expected to be filled this year. The search will focus on candidates appropriate for the rank of assistant professor, but exceptional candidates at the rank of associate professor or full professor will also be considered. These positions are supported by the Data, AI, and Computing Initiative, and the selected candidates will be affiliated with this Initiative and/or its research institutes or centers.

Although we are searching broadly in all areas of applied and computational mathematics and statistics, preference will be given to applicants whose research is connected with at least one of the following areas:

  • Data-driven approaches: physics-informed regularization, operator learning, state-space models, scientific machine learning, and algorithms to solve linear and nonlinear systems and differential equations. Additionally, research on optimization, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning techniques for multi-fidelity, multi-scale, and multi-physics problems is also of interest.
  • Quantum computing: quantum algorithms, quantum machine learning, quantum advantage, and quantum data science.

ACMS has research groups in applied mathematics, statistics and data science, and AI and machine learning, all featuring various multidisciplinary collaborations.

ACMS offers a Bachelor of Science, a doctoral degree, a research master’s degree, and a professional master’s degree.

Position duties include research, teaching, and service. The teaching load in ACMS is competitive, and the position is expected to begin in August 2027.

Qualifications 
Candidates at the entry level must have completed all requirements for a doctorate degree or have completed all but dissertation in applied mathematics, data science, mathematics, statistics, or a closely related field. Candidates at the advanced level must have a Ph.D. or relevant terminal degree in applied mathematics, data science, mathematics, statistics, or a closely related field. Ideal candidates will have a proven track record of successful multidisciplinary collaboration.
 
We will begin reviewing completed applications on October 15, 2026, and continue accepting applications through November 20, 2026.
 
Application Instructions 
Applications, including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research statement, and teaching statement, should be submitted through the Interfolio system. Applicants should also arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be submitted via Interfolio at the Interfolio website:
