[Banach] position in Geometric Functional Analysis at Alberta

[Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann]

Tenure Track Position, Geometrical Functional Analysis

The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University 
of Alberta invites applications for a tenure track position in the area of 
Geometrical Functional Analysis. We primarily seek candidates at the 
Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at a more senior 
level will be considered.

The successful candidate will have established accomplishments and 
outstanding promise in research, as well as a strong commitment to 
graduate and undergraduate teaching. Candidates must hold a PhD
degree. We offer an excellent research environment with a normal
teaching load of three courses per year.  A fit with some of the
existing research being presently conducted in the Department is an
asset. For more information about the Department, please visit our
website at http://www.math.ualberta.ca/.

We are looking for specialists in any of the areas of geometric functional 
analysis including asymptotic theory of normed spaces and high-dimensional 
convex geometry, related probabilistic methods, geometric inequalities and 
concentration inequalities, and related discrete mathematics aspects. 
Current research strengths in the analysis group of the Department include 
asymptotic geometric analysis, abstract harmonic analysis, Banach spaces, 
Banach algebras and Banach lattices, operator theory, approximation 
theory, Fourier and wavelet analysis. 

Alberta is one of the leading Mathematics Departments in Canada and has 
strong connections with other mathematical institutes, such as the Pacific 
Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), Mathematics of Information 
Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS), and the Banff International 
Research Station (BIRS).

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a research statement, a 
teaching profile outlining experience and/or interests, and at least three 
confidential letters of reference.

The closing date for applications is November 16, 2007, or until a 
suitable candidate is found. Early applications are encouraged.

Interested applicants may apply to:

Arturo Pianzola, Chair
Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2G1

Email: chairsec at math.ualberta.ca

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and 
permanent residents will be given priority. If suitable Canadian citizens 
or permanent residents cannot be found, other individuals will be 
considered.

The University of Alberta hires on the basis of merit. We are committed to 
the principle of equity in employment. We welcome diversity and encourage 
applications from all qualified women and men, including persons with 
disabilities, members of visible minorities, and Aboriginal persons.
