[cmath] Director - Atlantic Association for Research in Mathematical Sciences (AARMS)

[Alan Kelm]

      AARMS Seeks Director

The Atlantic Association for Research in Mathematical Sciences is
seeking a Director to provide scientific and administrative leadership.
AARMS is a consortium supported by universities in the Atlantic
provinces, the three Canadian mathematical sciences research institutes
and the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It provides funding
for mathematical sciences research in the region, collaborative research
groups (such as the Atlantic Algebra Centre), support for postdoctoral
fellowships, an annual summer school for graduate students, and outreach
by mathematical scientists to the schools, industry and other academic
disciplines. For further information on AARMS please consult our website
(www.aarms.math.ca <http://www.aarms.math.ca>). Annual reports of our
activities, including financial statements, can be found at
www.aarms.math.ca/news <http://www.aarms.math.ca/news>.

The successful candidate will have a distinguished record of research in
the 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 full time,
part time or retired faculty position in a university in Atlantic Canada
with a strong connection to the mathematical sciences in the region. The
term of office for the Director of AARMS is three to five years
renewable, with a preferred starting date of July 1, 2011. The position
is unsalaried but the AARMS budget includes funds for partial support of
a postdoctoral fellow supervised by the Director. The work of the
Director is supported by an administrator, presently located at
Dalhousie University, and by a Deputy Director, presently located at
Memorial University.

Candidates will be considered by a search committee established by the
AARMS Board of Directors. The committee includes members from
universities in the Atlantic region, and from across Canada. Inquiries
regarding the position or the search process may be directed to the
committee chair, Edgar Goodaire (edgar at mun.ca <mailto:edgar at mun.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
    <mailto:dll at cs.dal.ca>) 

Shortlisted candidates will also be requested to submit a vision
statement giving their assessment of AARMS and their views on possible
future directions.

Consideration of candidates will begin on January 31, 2011 and continue
until the position is filled.
