AMS e-Math Server

The American Mathematical Society has an extensive set of resources to help you looking for academic positions and is the premier source for information on careers in mathematics. This includes a list of job postings organized by country and state. In addition, you can sign up for an email service whereby you are automatically emailed all new job postings. Finally, you can submit an electronic c.v. which employers can access, and you can register for the job fairs at the annual AMS meetings.

Most of these services can be found at the e-Math Employment Information and Services or can be reached indirectly from the AMS's e-Math home page.

Other Online Mathematics Jobs Listings

• SIAM News includes academic job advertisements (follow the "Professional Oppotunities" link). These tend to be more applied than the jobs listed by the AMS.
• Chronicle of Higher Education has academic and non-academic job ads. Use the searchable index to find mathematics jobs. You do not need to subscribe to the Chronicle to search their job listings.
• The Academic Positions Network lists general academic positions.
• Mathematical Sciences Career Information by AMS-SIAM has a lot of information on non-academic jobs, including profiles of mathematicians in industry, job search tips, and pointers to many on-line job posting services.
• The IEEE has career information in engineering.
• The ACM has career information in computing.
• The American Statistical Society and the Statisical Society of Canada have homepages, that include job listings in industry and academics. The Bulletin of the IMS is online and contains job advertisements from North Armerica and elsewhere.
• The UCSD Science & Engineering Library maintains a list of employment resources in scientific fields.

Other Information on Employment in Mathematics

• The AMS publishes a comprehensive booklet Seeking Employment in the Mathematical Sciences, including practical advice on the types of jobs available in the mathematical sciences and how to apply for them.
• Steve Hurder maintains a web page with some useful and detailed articles on ``Tips On How To Get a Job'' and ``Tips On Preparing A Vita''. This page has a lot of other pointers to employment listings.
• The article How to Succeed in Graduate School by Marie desJardins gives suggestions on long-range planning and preparation for your job search. The easiest way to get it from the web is from volumes 1.2 and 1.3 of Crossroads, the online ACM student magazine.
• The Young Mathematicians Network has general information for young mathematicians, including job info. You can also check out their Concerns of Young Mathematicians newsletter.
• The 1996 AMS-IMS-MAA Employment and Salary Survey Report is in the December 1996 issue of the Notices of the AMS.
• The August 1996 issue of the Notices of the AMS has statistics on employment in mathematics as of Fall 1995. The August 1995 issue has statistics for the previous year.
• The July 1995 issue of the Notices of the AMS has statistics on employment in mathematics for 1990-91 Ph.D. recipients.
• CAMEL, web pages of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS), contains a job postings in Canada, plus pointers to employment information and information on women in mathematics.
• PhDs.org contains science, math, and engineering resources, with a lot of information on careers and employment.
• The Math-Jobs web site lists international job openings for mathematicians in both industry and academics.
• Next Wave, an electronic magazine devoted to networking and career information in science, is published as part of the AAAS magazine Science.
• The Career Services Center at UCSD has job listings which are maintained on-line by JobTrak. This is a general job listing for all UCSD students, so does not concentrate on jobs in mathematics.
