SMARTSTATE Chair in Mathematics

The University of South Carolina invites applications for a SmartState Chair to direct the SmartState Center for Data Analysis, Simulation, Imaging, and Visualization (DASIV) in conjunction with the Williams-Hedberg-Hedberg Endowed Chair of Mathematics. This is a tenured, 9-month, full Professor position in the Department of Mathematics. The Center is co-sponsored by $2 million from the South Carolina SmartState Program established by the South Carolina General Assembly in 2002 and by $2 million from the University of South Carolina for a total endowment of $4 million. The primary appointment of the Chair will be within the Department of Mathematics, McCausland College of Arts and Sciences.

Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Data-driven Modeling and Simulation

The Department of Mathematics at the University of South Carolina is inviting applications for a 9-month tenure-track Assistant Professor position in data-driven modeling and simulation of complex systems. The candidate is expected to contribute to synergistically bridging important developments in emerging mathematical foundations in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and numerical simulation of complex systems.

A successful candidate is expected to teach at all levels in the Department of Mathematics, and to participate actively in the state-wide NSF-funded EPSCOR project on AI-enabled Devices for the Advancement of Personalized and Transformative Healthcare in South Carolina.

"Bridge to Faculty" Fellowship  

As part of the new Bridge to Faculty Program at the University of South Carolina, the Department of Mathematics seeks a faculty fellow in the field of Mathematics that aligns with the expertise of existing faculty members to begin in Fall 2024. This two-year program is intended to lead to a tenure-track position in the Department.

In keeping with the University’s commitment to “cultivating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus where every individual has the opportunity to flourish and thrive,” the Bridge to Faculty Program is designed to attract and retain promising scholars to the University of South Carolina with an emphasis on outreach to underrepresented early-career scholars. Specifically, the program seeks to recruit early-career scholars who, if successful during the program, will have the opportunity to transition to a tenure-track faculty appointment at USC at the start of the 2026-2027 academic year

Postdoctoral Fellow in Modeling and Simulation of Complex Systems

Professor Qi Wang’s group in the Department of Mathematics at the University of South Carolina (USC) seeks applications for two Postdoctoral Fellow positions in applied and computational mathematics, focusing on the modeling and simulation of complex systems. The successful candidates will join the NSF-funded project "AI-enabled Devices for the Advancement of Personalized and Transformative Healthcare in South Carolina (ADAPT)," contributing to research in data-driven and mechanistic modeling as well as the simulation of complex systems integral to the project. Research areas encompass modeling and simulation of ion transport and fluid-structure interaction in complex geometries, phase separation in complex fluids, tumor growth dynamics, phase-field modeling of solid dynamics, and the development of efficient numerical approximations for thermodynamically consistent PDEs. 

Postdoctoral Associates in Data Science & Machine Learning

The Department of Mathematics at the University of South Carolina is inviting applications of two postdoctoral associates in the area of mathematical foundations of data science and machine learning in a broader sense. The candidates are expected to contribute to synergistically bridging important theoretical developments in mathematics and vibrant emerging mathematical foundations in Data Science/Machine Learning. A successful candidate is expected to teach two courses per year on all levels in the Department of Mathematics. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Mathematics by the start date of employment, a demonstrated potential for excellence in both research and teaching.

Due to the restriction of NSF RTG grant, candidates must be citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States or its territories and possessions.

FTE Instructor

The faculty of the Department of Mathematics at the University of South Carolina, Columbia campus, invites applications for a full time, professional-track position at the rank of Instructor.

The position is a 9-month appointment with a teaching load of 8 courses for the academic year. This is an annual appointment that may be renewed contingent upon Dean’s approval, satisfactory performance, departmental needs, and the availability of funding.
