</center>
<p>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
(<a href="http://www.aarms.math.ca">www.aarms.math.ca</a>). Annual
reports of our activities, including financial statements, can be found
at

</p>
<p>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
