It is assumed that applicants for Instructorships will have completed all Ph.D. requirements by August 31, 2001. Other factors being equal, preference will be given to those whose doctorates were conferred in 2000 or 2001. Candidates should show superior research ability and have a strong commitment to teaching. Consideration will be given only to persons whose research interests have some overlap with those of the permanent faculty.
Duties consist of teaching undergraduate or graduate courses and conducting independent research.
Each R.H. Bing Fellow holds an Instructorship in the Mathematics Department, with a teaching load of two courses in one semester and one course in the other. Pending satisfactory performance of teaching duties, the Fellowship can be renewed for two additional years. Applicants must show outstanding promise in research. Bing Fellowship applicants will automatically be considered for other departmental openings at the post-doctoral level, so a separate application for such a position is unnecessary. In addition to the duties indicated above for Instructors, such an appointment will typically entail the supervision of M.A or Ph.D. students.
