Mathematics Pennsylvania State University in United States

The Department of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University invites applications for postdoctoral positions as part of the Chowla program. These are non-tenure track, three-year term appointments designed for new or recent Ph.D. graduates (typically awarded in 2024 or later) who demonstrate exceptional research potential and a strong commitment to teaching. The Chowla program aims to maximize the professional development of its participants, offering a research stipend and a competitive benefits package for full-time employees.

Duties include both research and teaching, with the expectation that postdoctoral scholars will contribute to the academic life of the department. Initial offers are expected to be made in January 2026. Applicants must submit a cover letter explaining how their research aligns with the department, a curriculum vitae with a full publication list, a research statement, a teaching statement, and at least three reference letters (one of which should address teaching abilities in detail).

Applications must be submitted both through the Penn State application system and Mathjobs.org. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until all positions are filled. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of background checks. Penn State is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and provides a supportive environment for all employees.

The university offers a comprehensive benefits package and adheres to equal opportunity employment policies. For more information and to apply, visit Mathjobs.org.
