Salary and start-up packages are competitive with the peer institutions in China, and at the international level in special cases. Candidates will be considered at all ranks, and in all major fields of mathematics, including algebra and number theory, analysis, applied and computational mathematics, geometry and topology, and statistics. Joint offers may be made jointly with the Institute of Natural Sciences (http://ins.sjtu.edu.cn) at SJTU in the areas of applied mathematics and statistics. Endowed Chair Professorships are available to senior mathematicians with well-established academic credentials. Other senior and junior professorships are open to candidates with exceptional research records or potential. Applications should consist of a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications, summary of future research plans, and four letters of reference. Application materials should preferably be electronically sent to math.recruitment@gmail.com They can also be mailed to The Hiring Committee Department of Mathematics Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai 200240, China. Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue for the next several years. ------ Subject: Contents, Inverse Problems and Imaging 7:1 From: "Susan Cummins" Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:15:05 -0600 Inverse Problems and Imaging (IPI) Volume: 7, Number: 1 February 2013 http://www.aimsciences.org/journals/contentsListnew.jsp?pubID=583 1.
