Virginia Tech Department of Mathematics Faculty Position in Stochastic
Differential Equations and Analysis
The Virginia Tech Department of Mathematics anticipates a tenure-track
opening in Stochastic Differential Equations or other areas of
Stochastic Analysis with a start date of August 10, 2022, at our
Blacksburg, VA, campus. The successful candidate will have a strong
background in the analysis of stochastic, random, or ergodic systems,
or closely related areas. Possible specialties include, but are not
limited to, functional analysis, geometric analysis, harmonic
analysis, stochastic analysis, stochastic ordinary differential
equations, stochastic partial differential equations, theory of
partial differential equations, dynamical systems, mathematical
physics, or applications of at least one of these areas. The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage in
interdisciplinary research, curriculum development, and/or outreach
initiatives with other members of the Virginia Tech faculty.
Appointment as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics is anticipated,
but exceptional senior candidates will be considered for positions of
Associate Professor of Mathematics or Professor of Mathematics.
Job requirements include a Ph.D. in mathematics or a related field at
the time of appointment and an active research program, or, for new
Ph.D.’s, strong promise for developing an active research program.
The successful candidate will be expected to establish a distinguished

Chapter Award for Scientific Excellence. Through undergraduates’
supervised tutoring of local public school students and through the
department’s participation in the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative, the
Mathematics Department introduces secondary school and community
college students to opportunities in the mathematical sciences. The
diversity statement required in our application process gives
candidates opportunities to bring to our attention their
qualifications for and interest in contributing to efforts to
diversify our discipline. Strong statements will demonstrate informed
awareness of the rewards and challenges arising from efforts to
provide equitable opportunities for all. Specific examples of
