Posting 	2010.80
Position 	Mathematics and Statistics

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of the
Fraser Valley invites applications for two full-time faculty positions,
one in mathematics education, the other in mathematics, to commence
January 1, 2011, or soon thereafter (subject to budgetary approval).

The University of the Fraser Valley is the school of choice for 14,000
students annually pursuing more than 80 degree, diploma and certificate
programs. Our commitment to teaching excellence is supported by small
class sizes, support for active research and scholarship, and a friendly
supportive environment open to collaboration and innovation. According
to the Globe and Mail's 2010 Canadian University Report, UFV is at the
top of the list in the small universities category, earning an A grade
in most satisfied students, quality of education, and teaching, and an
A+ in student-faculty interaction and class size.

We are seeking enthusiastic individuals who have an outstanding ability
to teach and communicate effectively with undergraduate students, are
able to instruct across a broad range of the undergraduate mathematics
curriculum, and can develop new and innovative programs and courses.

We are primarily a teaching-oriented university and department but the
successful candidate will also be expected to maintain a research
program, preferably one which involves students, or is community-linked.

*Mathematics Position Qualifications
* The successful candidate must have a PhD in Mathematics (or one near
completion), demonstrate excellence in teaching at the undergraduate
level, and demonstrate potential in research. Applicants from any area
will be considered, but preference will be given to those with expertise
in industrial mathematics, particularly those who can foster connections
with local industry.

*Mathematics Education Position Qualifications
* The successful candidate must preferably have a PhD in Mathematics
Education (or one near completion) or a Master's degree with a good deal
of university teaching experience, demonstrate excellence in teaching at
the undergraduate level, and demonstrate potential in research. He or
she must also have the graduate level mathematics training necessary to
support instruction across our mathematics curriculum.

Candidates should submit curriculum vitae; evidence of teaching
excellence (student evaluations if available); one-page statement of
teaching philosophy including examples of innovative approaches to
teaching and course design if available; one-page statement of proposed
research program, and three letters of reference. Applications, citing *
