Assistant Professor – Mathematics
FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
The Department of Mathematics at The College of Staten Island (CSI) of The City University of New York (CUNY) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Mathematics with an anticipated starting date of Fall 2027.
This position is aimed at expanding the college's footprint in emerging technologies. We seek candidates whose research and teaching expertise focus on the mathematics of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science. A primary responsibility of the successful candidate will be to play a leading role in designing and developing a new Artificial Intelligence curriculum—including a certificate, minor, and major—in collaboration with faculty across disciplines.
The successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate excellence in research, deliver high-quality teaching at the undergraduate and/or graduate levels, and actively contribute to departmental, college, and university service. Faculty may also have the opportunity to be appointed to the doctoral faculty at the CUNY Graduate Center, where they can teach and mentor PhD students. We welcome applicants from both applied and pure mathematical backgrounds (such as logic or graph theory) whose work intersects with AI. However, regardless of their specific mathematical sub-discipline, the successful candidate must demonstrate the capacity and computational background to develop and teach core undergraduate courses in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The faculty member will also share responsibility for committee and department assignments, including administrative, supervisory, and other functions as needed.
The College of Staten Island(CSI) is a senior college of The City University of New York (CUNY) organized around two academic divisions and two schools with over many professional areas. The college is situated on a 204-acre tree-lined spacious site with recently built student dormitories and is currently engaging in capital expansion.
QUALIFICATIONS
A Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Mathematics or an adjacent field is required. Also required are the ability to teach successfully, demonstrated scholarship or achievement, and the ability to cooperate with others for the good of the institution.
Preferred Qualifications: Postdoctoral or equivalent experience is strongly preferred. Preference will be given to candidates with a robust research record in the mathematical foundations of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Relevant research areas include, but are not limited to: optimization, computational statistics, deep learning theory, automated reasoning, symbolic AI, AI-assisted mathematics (e.g., formal verification, interactive theorem proving), or the intersection of graph theory and machine learning.
Candidates must be able to develop and teach cutting-edge courses in these areas and demonstrate a strong interest in program development and curriculum design. Candidates should demonstrate the potential for securing external funding and a commitment to working effectively with faculty, staff, and students in a diverse, multicultural campus environment.
COMPENSATION
$59,256 - $89,777
Salary is commensurate with education, qualifications, and experience.
CUNY offers faculty a competitive compensation and benefits package covering health insurance, pension and retirement benefits, paid parental leave, and savings programs. We also provide mentoring and support for research, scholarship, and publication as part of our commitment to ongoing faculty professional development.

Entry Level Assistant Professor of Mathematics Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level assistant professor of mathematics job?
Most entry level assistant professor of mathematics positions expect a completed or nearly complete doctoral degree in mathematics or a closely related field, so finishing your PhD is the clearest first step. Hiring committees at this stage also weigh teaching experience from graduate assistantships, a focused research agenda, and strong letters of recommendation from faculty advisors far more heavily than years of professional experience.
Which companies hire entry level assistant professor of mathematicss?
Companies hiring entry level assistant professor of mathematicss right now include New York Institute of Technology, University of North Texas, and University of California Merced, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a mix of four-year universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges that regularly bring on new doctoral graduates to fill teaching and research faculty lines.
Are there remote entry level assistant professor of mathematics jobs?
Yes, though most positions in this field remain campus-based given the classroom and departmental responsibilities involved. About 0% of entry level assistant professor of mathematics openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be at institutions with established online degree programs or in adjunct and visiting roles rather than tenure-track appointments.
Are these new grad assistant professor of mathematics jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior faculty roles that welcome candidates with zero to two years of post-degree experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically invites applications from candidates finishing dissertations, values internship-style teaching assistantships as qualifying experience, and does not require a lengthy publication record before hire.
Which industries hire the most entry level assistant professor of mathematicss?
Entry Level assistant professor of mathematics roles concentrate in Education and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they maintain dedicated mathematics departments, face ongoing faculty retirement cycles, and regularly recruit doctoral graduates directly from graduate programs to fill classroom and research needs.
