The appointments are to be at the assistant-professor level and are to begin August 18, 2002. Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. within the mathematical sciences. Preference will be given to candidates with some postdoctoral experience. Candidates are expected to have strong potential in research (including the potential to attract external funding) and in teaching. They should also be able to contribute to the interdisciplinary outreach of the department and to support established research strengths. In numerical analysis, preference will be given to candidates with backgrounds in at least one of the following areas: numerical linear algebra, partial differential equations, inverse problems and optimization. In mathematical statistics, preference will be given to candidates with backgrounds overlaping with at least one of the following areas: mathematical finance, wavelet analysis, multivariate analysis, geometric measure theory, inference in stochastic processes. The Kent State Campus is a spacious, residential campus serving more than 20,000 students. It is situated in a small university town within 30 miles of the major metropolitan area of Cleveland. The Department of Mathematical Sciences is in the College of Arts and Sciences and houses programs through the doctoral level in pure and applied mathematics. It currently consists of 25 faculty. The department has an extensive computer network for faculty and student use. For further information about the department, please visit the web site http://www.math.kent.edu. Applicants should send a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and at least three letters of reference to the Mathematics Search Committee at the above address. Applicants are also requested to use the AMS standardized application format, forms for which are available through the American Mathematical Society (http://www.ams.org). Questions regarding these positions may be sent to math-search@math.kent.edu. Applicants whose completed applications are received by January 15, 2002 are assured of receiving full consideration. Kent State University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer. ----------------------------- From: Secretary Support - Magrijn Subject: Journal MCSS Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems 2001 Vol 14, No. 4 Table of Contents Linear operator inequalities for strongly stable weakly regular linear systems R.F.
