Positions Available
Tenure Track Positions
The Mathematics Department at the University of North Texas is seeking
to hire one, and possibly two, tenure-track assistant professors
with the expected appointment to begin in Fall 2008. Preference
for one position will be given to applicants whose area of research
is either harmonic analysis or differential equations. However,
strong candidates in any area of mathematics will be considered,
particularly those in combinatorics, dynamical systems, logic and set
theory, numerical methods, and representation theory. The University
is particularly interested in individuals who show a strong potential
for interdisciplinary collaboration or applications across traditional
department boundaries; applicants are asked to emphasize
interdisciplinary potential in their research statements.
The typical teaching load is two courses per semester, with the
possibility of 2-1 load during some of the initial years of the
appointment. The department offers degrees through the Ph.D.
The search committee will begin reviewing applications
after November 1, 2007 and continue to consider applications until the
position is filled. The University of North Texas is an ADA/AA/EOE that
encourages applications from minority group members and women.

John Ed Allen
Scholarship
In June 1999, Dr. John Ed Allen stepped down as Chair of
the Mathematics
Department after serving 23 years in that position. Throughout
his tenure as chair, the department grew from a small one
that focused on undergraduate education and a masters program
to a comprehensive research department with strong programs
at the undergraduate through Ph.D. levels. At the time Dr.
Allen stepped down, he had hired all but two of the current
Mathematics Department Faculty.
While Chair, Dr. Allen particularly enjoyed working with
the graduate students. He served both as Chair and Graduate
Advisor. Although this took a tremendous amount of time,
Dr. Allen found his interaction with the graduate students
to be productive for the students and rewarding for him.
Over the years, both graduate students and undergraduate
students have appreciated his gentle advice and kind help.
Math faculty members and graduate students contributed
most of the money in the fund. The goal of building the
fund to $10,000 has been attained. Now we wish to increase
this number so more student can benefit. The first scholarship
was awarded to one student for $1000. We are hoping to increase
the number of $1000 scholarships in the future and eventually
increase the amount of each scholarship.
You are welcome to become involved in this opportunity
to honor Dr. Allen's contribution to mathematics at UNT
and help UNT mathematics majors. If you wish to make a tax-deductible
contribution to the Allen Scholarship Fund, please send
a check made out to the UNT Foundation, and in the memo
space write Allen Scholarship Fund. The check may be mailed
to:

Roger L.
Perry Memorial Scholarship
Roger L. Perry was a dedicated mathematics teacher who
was educated at
UNT. After his death, his wife and daughter set up a scholarship
to honor Mr. Perry's long service of teaching mathematics.
The scholarship committee gives preference to applicants
who intend to pursue a career of teaching mathematics.
Did you have a favorite mathematics teacher when you were
in school? You are welcome to contribute to the Roger L.
Perry fund in honor of your teacher. The contribution will
not only acknowledge your teacher's dedication, but it will
help future mathematics teachers with their education at
UNT. If you wish to make a tax-deductible contribution to
the Perry Scholarship Fund, please send a check made out
to the UNT Foundation, and in the memo space write Perry
Scholarship Fund. The check may be mailed to:
