Position Summary

As part of Indiana University Bloomington’s Faculty 100 initiative,the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciencesinvites applications for an open-rank position (Assistant,Associate, or Full Professor) to begin in Fall 2027. These are10-month appointments, ideally beginning August 1, 2027. We seek an outstanding mathematician whose research engagessubstantially with artificial intelligence, data science, orscientific machine learning. The successful candidate will have aprimary appointment in Mathematics and opportunities to collaboratebroadly with faculty in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing,and Engineering, Data Science, Statistics, the Institute forScientific Computing and Applied Mathematics, and scientific unitsacross our campus. We are particularly interested in researchers working inmathematical artificial intelligence, broadly construed. Thisincludes, but is not limited to: machine learning algorithms,formal proof assistants, and large language models. Areas of interest for possible collaborations include but are not limited to: topological data analysis and topological machinelearning; AI-assisted theorem proving, formal verification, proofassistants, automated proof search, and AI-guided mathematicaldiscovery; neural operators, physics-informed learning, inverseproblems, uncertainty quantification, and rigorous methods fordifferential equations and scientific machine learning; geometricdeep learning, manifold learning, equivariant methods,high-dimensional geometry, and structure-aware learning; and themathematical foundations of trustworthy AI, including stability,robustness, verification, interpretability, andgeneralization. Candidates whose work connects rigorous mathematics with moderncomputation and complements departmental strengths in topology,algebraic topology, analysis, partial differential equations,geometric analysis, probability, logic, formal methods, andexperimental mathematics will be given preference. We encourageapplications from scholars who apply interdisciplinary perspectivesacross a variety of these domains.

Responsibilities

Candidates are expected to sustain anactive, externally funded research program, to engage undergraduateand graduate students through effective teaching and mentoring, tocontribute to curricular development in mathematical AI asdescribed above, and to participate in service to the universityand the profession. Candidates should be able to work effectivelyin a team environment and to build connections between mathematics,the joint B.S. program with Luddy Data Science, and AI- anddata-intensive research across campus. To advance scholarlyinnovation and excellence, we especially welcome candidates whosedemonstrated experience, research, teaching, and mentoring willsupport the university’s commitment to an inclusive academiccommunity.

Full consideration date.

For full consideration, applications should be received by November 7, 2026. Review of applications will begin immediately thereafter.

About Indiana University Bloomington:

Founded in 1820, IndianaUniversity-Bloomington ( IUB ) is the flagship campus of IndianaUniversity. Located in Bloomington, IN., IUB constantly strives toembody its mission to create, disseminate, preserve, and applyknowledge. It does so through its commitments to cutting-edgeresearch, scholarship, arts, and creative activity; inspired andchallenging undergraduate, graduate, professional, and lifelongeducational programs; meaningful experiences outside the classroom;expansive global educational opportunities; first-rate library andmuseum collections; and far-reaching economic development andimpact in the state and region. IUB is a member of the prestigious Association of AmericanUniversity ( AAU ) since 1909, is accredited by the Higher LearningCommission and is a member of the North Central Association. Withover 47,000 undergraduate and graduate students, the campus has 16degree-granting colleges and schools offering 300+ undergraduatemajors, 300+ Master’s degrees, and 150+ doctoral and professionaldegree opportunities. Known for its Indiana limestone facades andgreen spaces throughout, IUB is widely considered one of thecountry’s most beautiful college campuses. The College ofArts and Sciences at Indiana University offers over 225academic programs rooted in three broad areas of study—Arts andHumanities, Natural and Mathematics Sciences, and Social andHistorical Studies. The College is home to over 70 departments andprograms and three schools—the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture+ Design, the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and InternationalStudies, and The Media School. Over 900 faculty members servewithin the College and form an extraordinary teaching and learningcommunity at the heart of a world-class university. Members of theCollege’s faculty are continually recognized as elected fellows ofthe American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academies,the American Association for the Advancement of Science, andinclude MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellows, Fulbright Award winners,and Pulitzer Prize, Oscar, and Emmy winners. The Department of Mathematics at Indiana University Bloomingtonsupports research and teaching across pure and applied mathematics.Its strengths in topology, algebraic topology, analysis, partialdifferential equations, geometric analysis, logic, formal methods,and experimental mathematics provide a strong foundation for thisposition. The successful candidate will help connect thesestrengths to a developing course in topological data analysis, thenew joint B.S. major with Luddy Data Science, undergraduateresearch, graduate training, and campus collaborations in AI, datascience, and scientific computing. The Luddy Schoolof Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at IndianaUniversity is the first of its kind and among the largest in thecountry. Its mission is to excel and lead in education, research,and outreach spanning and integrating the full breadth ofcomputing, information technology and modern engineering. The LuddySchool is a core school with programs on the Bloomington andIndianapolis campus and includes over 150 faculty and 3100students. Departments in the Luddy School’s Bloomington campusinclude Computer Science, Information and Library Science, Informatics, and Intelligent Systems Engineering. Nestled in the rolling hills of south-central Indiana, and home to85,000 residents, the city of Bloomington offers the feel ofacollege town with many of the amenities of a large city. Fromoff-Broadway plays and musicals, the LOTUS World Festival of Music,quick access to 250,000 acres of public recreation lands,outstanding public schools and a reasonable cost of living,Bloomington offers much to all.
