LaGrange College seeks to fill a tenure-track appointment in mathematics and data analytics at the assistant professor level beginning August 1, 2025.

A doctoral degree in statistics, mathematics, data science, or related field is required, although outstanding ABD candidates will be considered.  Successful candidates must complete the terminal degree by the end of their second year in the position.   Applicants with a master’s degree in data analytics and substantial teaching or professional experience in the field may also be considered for a non-tenure-line lectureship.

The successful candidate will join the newly formed Department of Business and Data Science, offering opportunities to teach a range of undergraduate courses, including core courses in the general curriculum, core courses for mathematics majors, and advanced data analytics topics. Candidates with expertise in data analytics and a vision for developing an undergraduate curriculum in data analytics will receive priority consideration. The teaching load is 24 credits annually (typically four 3-credit courses per term).  Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching, professional development, and institutional service, as well as an understanding of, and appreciation for, the mission of liberal arts institutions.

Interested candidates should visit https://lagrangecollege.applicantstack.com/x/openings to apply for the position and to view other positions available at the college. Required documents include: 

• A letter of interest describing the alignment of the candidate’s qualifications with the position requirements
• Current curriculum vitae
• A statement of teaching philosophy that also addresses ways in which the candidate creates and sustains a culture of belonging, fairness and appreciation for different perspectives in the classroom
• Graduate and undergraduate transcripts (unofficial copies are fine at this point)
• Contact information (only) for three professional references

The review of applications will begin on February 15 and continue until the position is filled. The successful candidate will be required to undergo a background check as a prerequisite for the position.  Any questions about the position should be addressed to officeoftheVPAA@lagrange.edu.
