AWM Executive Director Search

Association for Women in Mathematics
Executive Director

The Association for Women in Mathematics is seeking applicants for the 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 the mathematical sciences. The successful candidate will be expected to represent the AWM at mathematics conferences and to be responsible, together with the AWM Managing Director, for administrative activities supportive of the mission and programs of the organization. Excellent writing skills and organizational expertise are essential. The Executive Director will also work closely with the AWM President and Executive Committee.

We seek an outstanding individual who is passionate about supporting women in mathematics. This is a part-time position that can be combined with an existing academic appointment (e.g., via course reduction). The AWM office is in the DC area, but the geographic base of the Executive Director can be anywhere in North America. A letter of application, contact information for at least three people who have agreed to serve as references, and a curriculum vitae should be submitted to mathjobs.org. Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is filled. The letter of application should include a description of why the candidate is well-suited for this position, and how this position fits with the candidate's current career trajectory. Date of availability should be indicated, together with any special considerations. Questions about this position should be directed to President Cathy Kessel, cbkessel@earthlink.net.
