Tenure-Track Job Posting: Computational Neuroscience

The College of Arts and Sciences at American University (Washington, DC) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position beginning in fall 2012 in Computational Neuroscience: broadly defined, including but not limited to neural networks, simulation, image processing, and bio-informatics.

Welcome to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Here are a few of the many interesting developments in the department:

  • We would like to welcome Dr. Michael Robinson to the Department of Mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania, who will be joining us in the Fall. Dr. Robinson has a PhD in Philosophy in Applied Mathematics from Cornell University and a Master of Science in Mathematics from Rensselaer Polutechnic Institute, NY
  • Enrollments and numbers of undergraduate majors and minors in the department have been steadily increasing. We now offer two new BS degree programs, a BS in Mathematics and Economics and a BS in Computational Science, developed jointly with the Department of Computer Science.
  • This summer we will welcome our forth class of students to our Math for America program. This program, in conjunction with the School of Education, Teaching, and Health and the Carnegie Institution, trains outstanding mathematics graduates from around the country to teach in the DC schools.
  • Tow new courses will be added this fall Math 580:Mathematical Finance and Math 360:Tools of Scientific Computing.
  • Our statistical consulting lab begins its forth year of service to AU graduate students and faculty who need statistical help with their research.

Our website provides information about our degree programs, faculty, news, and events. If you need further information or have a question, please email mathstat@american.edu or call 202-885-3120.
