Candidates must have a doctoral degree at the date of appointment and a strong background in mathematics. They are expected to have demonstrated the capacity for independent research of excellent quality. Selection criteria include research accomplishments, as well as potential contributions to the Department's educational programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Applications should be made through www.MathJobs.Org  (Position ID: McGill-ALGBR) and must include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a research outline, a teaching statement which includes an account of teaching experience, and at least four references (with one addressing the teaching record). Candidates are also encouraged to provide web links for up to three selected reprints or preprints, or to upload them to MathJobs.Org .

Candidates must ensure that letters of reference are submitted (preferably through mathjobs.org , though in exceptional circumstances they may be mailed to Professor D. Wise, Algebra Search Committee, Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, McGill University, 805 Sherbrooke St. W. Montreal, QC H3A 0B9, Canada).

To ensure full consideration, complete applications including letters of reference should be received by December 1, but later applications will be considered until the position is filled.
