Director

extraordinary intellectual possibility.

Founded in 1982 as the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), SLMath is among the world's preeminent centers for research in the mathematical sciences. Located in the hills above the University of California, Berkeley campus, the Institute hosts approximately 2,000 mathematicians annually from around the world for research residencies ranging from weeks to a full academic year.

The Director serves as SLMath's chief scientific and administrative leader, reporting to the Board of Trustees and stewarding the Institute's mission, culture, and long-term vitality. Central to the role is articulating and advancing a compelling scientific vision that sustains SLMath's historic strength in foundational mathematics while positioning the Institute to respond thoughtfully to emerging areas, including interfaces with applied mathematics, data science, and artificial intelligence.

SLMath seeks an internationally recognized mathematician with a distinguished record of scholarly achievement and the perspective to set long-range intellectual direction for the field.
