Subject: Position at Simon Fraser

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS & STATISTICS
Simon Fraser University
FACULTY APPOINTMENT
The Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Simon Fraser University
invites applications for a tenure track position in Numerical Analysis at
the level of Assistant Professor. The position could commence as early as
January 1, 1988. Requirements include a Ph.D. degree and duties include
teaching and research.
Applications, including curriculum vitae, should be sent as soon as
possible to:
Dr. A.R. Freedman, Chairman
Department of Mathematics & Statistics
Simon Fraser University
Burnaby, BC, V5A 1S6
Canada
Please arrange for three letters of reference to be sent directly from the
referees.
In accordance with Canadian Immigration requirements, priority will be
given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Simon Fraser University serves 11,500 undergraduate students and 1,500
graduate students. The Department of Mathematics & Statistics with a fac-
ulty of 34, has 49 graduate students (20 in the Ph.D. program).
Simon Fraser University is situated on the top of Burnaby Mountain ly-
ing just east of the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver. The site commands mag-
nificent views of Burrard Inlet, the mountains, the Fraser River, and the
Vancouver Harbour. This Lower Mainland area of British Columbia is unique
in Canada for its mild climate and varied recreational facilities.

======

In addition to the above, there is generally some money available for long-
term (at least one semester) visitors in numerical analysis. If interested,
write to me at the above address. Thanks, Bob Russell
