Association for Women in Mathematics Executive Director

The Association for Women in Mathematics is seeking applicants for a possible position of Executive Director.

The AWM is dedicated to achieving full participation and equity for women and girls in the mathematical sciences. In support of this mission, AWM seeks to promote awareness and recognition of women's achievements in the mathematical sciences, to administer programs that encourage women and girls, and to build community among all mathematical scientists.

This position requires a Ph.D. in any field of the mathematical sciences. The successful candidate will be responsible for administrative activities supportive of the mission and programs of our organization; experience handling federal grants would be helpful. The Executive Director will work closely with the AWM President and Executive Committee. The Executive Director will be the spokesperson or "public face" of AWM and will serve as liaison between volunteers, staff, and funding agencies. Experience with fundraising and development would be a valuable plus.

We are open to more than one model for structuring this position, and ask that candidates clearly state how they feel they could best contribute to the AWM. This could be a part-time position, possibly combined with an existing academic appointment. While the AWM currently maintains offices in the Baltimore/D.C. area, the geographic location of the Executive Director is flexible. Ultimately, we seek an outstanding individual who is passionate about supporting women in mathematics.

Early inquiry is encouraged. Review of applications will begin as they are received. Applicants are asked to describe why they feel well-suited to this position and how this position could best fit with their existing plans. Please include salary requirements, the date when work could commence and any special considerations. Letters of application, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for at least three people willing to be called upon to provide a reference should be sent as one single PDF file to awm@fields.utoronto.ca.

Questions about this position should be directed to AWM President-Elect Dr. Barbara Lee Keyfitz at awm@fields.utoronto.ca.
