PROFESSOR (ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH) - SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICAL AND STATISTICAL SCIENCES

Clemson, SC

One of the country’s most selective public research universities, Clemson University serves a uniquely driven and highly accomplished student body.

Ranked consistently as one of the best national public university by  U.S.News & World Report, Clemson is a science- and engineering-oriented college dedicated to teaching, research and service. Founded in 1889, we remain committed both to world-class research and a high quality of life. In fact, 91 percent of our seniors say they’d pick Clemson again if they had it to do over.

Clemson’s retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country for public universities. We’ve been named among the best values by  Kiplinger  magazine in 2013, and SmartMoney  in 2012 ranked us No. 7 in student return on investment.

Our beautiful college campus sits on 1,400 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of Hartwell Lake. But we also have research facilities and economic development hubs throughout the state of South Carolina — in Greenville, Greenwood, Columbia and Charleston.


The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (SMSS) at Clemson University invites applications for an Associate Director of Research, with anticipated starting date of August 2025. This position is part of the SMSS strategy to support the university’s strategic goal of doubling research by 2035: https://www.clemson.edu/elevate/. This is a tenured faculty position, and it is expected that the appointment will be made at the level of Professor.

Expectations for this position include setting the SMSS research strategy, coordinating mentoring of faculty in scientific proposal development, liaising with funding agencies, identifying appropriate proposal calls and developing teams to respond, connecting SMSS faculty with collaborators within Clemson as well as nationally and internationaly, identifying opportunities for SMSS faculty to participate in large scale programs and collaborative/center grants. The Associate Director of Research will advise the school director on research matters and manage the business of SMSS research.

Candidates are expected to have qualifications commensurate with an appointment of Professor with tenure at a highly productive and successful school within an R1 research university, as well as a background that sufficiently prepares them for such a position. The ideal candidate will have experience in conducting interdisciplinary research, success in obtaining research funding from multiple external sources, a wide breadth of scientific knowledge, and a strong interest in mentoring our diverse and talented faculty.
