Tenure-Track/Tenured (Open Rank) Professor Position

Department of Mathematics

College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign invites applications for a full-time tenure-track open rank (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor) faculty position (in any area of mathematics). Exceptional candidates may be considered for the D’Angelo Endowed Chair. Successful candidates are expected to conduct independent, high-quality research, teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and contribute to the department, university, and the profession through service.

Applicants must have (or expected to receive) a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Mathematics or a related field. Applicants at the assistant professor level should provide evidence of potential for research and high-quality teaching effectiveness. Applicants at the associate/full professor level should provide evidence of established research and teaching effectiveness appropriate for appointment with tenure.

The anticipated start date is August 16, 2026. The budgeted salary range for the position is $105,000-$125,000 for Assistant Professor, $125,000-$135,000 for Associate Professor; $135,000-$240,000 for Professor, for a 9-month service basis. The pay offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors including (but not limited to) the experience and qualifications of the selected candidate including equivalent years in rank, training, and field or discipline; internal equity; and external market pay for comparable jobs. It is not typical for a beginning Assistant Professor to be offered a salary at or near the top of the full range for the position.

We have an active and successful dual-career partner placement program and a strong commitment to work-life balance and family-friendly programs for faculty and staff. To find out more about the resources available at the university and Champaign-Urbana community please visit these sites:
