[cmath] AARMS Seeks Director

[David Langstroth]

The Atlantic Association for Research in Mathematical Sciences 
(www.aarms.math.ca) is seeking a Director to provide scientific and 
administrative leadership. AARMS is a consortium supported by 
universities in the Atlantic provinces and the three Canadian 
mathematical sciences research institutes.  It provides funding for 
mathematical sciences research in the region, an annual summer school 
for graduate students, and outreach by mathematical scientists to the 
schools, industry and other academic disciplines.

The successful candidate will have a distinguished record of research 
in mathematical sciences, and administrative or organizational 
experience (for instance, chair of a department, officer of a learned 
society, or editor of a journal).  The Director should hold a 
fulltime faculty position in a university in Atlantic Canada.  The 
term of office for the Director of AARMS is three years, with a 
preferred starting date of July 1, 2008.  The AARMS budget includes 
funds for partial support of a postdoctoral fellow supervised by the Director.

Candidates will be considered by a search committee established by 
the AARMS Board of Directors.  The committee includes members from 
five universities in the Atlantic region and one of the Canadian 
institutes. Inquiries regarding the position or the search process 
may be directed to the committee chair, Jon Thompson (jon at math.unb.ca).

Applications, or nominations with a statement of consent by the 
nominee, should be accompanied by a CV and the names of three 
referees, and sent to:

         David Langstroth, Administrator, AARMS (dll at cs.dal.ca)

Consideration of candidates will begin on January 15, 2008 and 
continue until the position is filled.
