The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to extend the frontiers of mathematical knowledge and the ways it is used in the real world, to disseminate that knowledge and train the next generation of teachers and researchers, as well as those choosing careers with industry or government. The Department is committed to building and nourishing interaction with other units across campus using mathematics, institutes and industries in the research triangle, across the state and the nation. The Department maintains a strong research program as well as a comprehensive educational program. An active, healthy research environment is essential for the training of graduate students and enlivens the teaching of undergraduate courses, bringing students into contact with new and relevant mathematics and creating a population with the necessary mathematical skills and appreciation, encouraging some to join the next generation of researchers and educators. The fundamental importance of education in mathematics is reflected in the General College curriculum's foundations and connections requirements in quantitative methods. The Department is strongly committed to making its programs open and accessible to members of groups historically underrepresented in the sciences.

Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position in Applied Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The anticipated start date is September 1, 2022. The ideal candidate has research background and interests in one or more of the following areas: optimal transport (mathematical theory, computational analysis, machine learning applications), approximation theory, or mathematical models in biology and/or medicine. Teaching duties for the position can be tailored to the applicant's background, interests, and career goals. The initial appointment is for 1 year, with the possibility of extension for another year upon satisfactory performance and funding.

A Ph.D. in Mathematics, or a related field, is required by the start of the appointment.
