The Mathematical
Reviews division of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) is located in Ann
Arbor, Michigan, not far from the campus of the University of Michigan. The
editors are employees of the AMS; they also enjoy many privileges at the
University. At present, the AMS employs over seventy people including fifteen
mathematical editors at Mathematical Reviews. MR's mission is to develop and
maintain the AMS databases covering the published mathematical literature. The
chief responsibility is the development and maintenance of the MR Database, from
which all MR-related products are produced: MathSciNet, the journals Mathematical
Reviews and Current
Mathematical Publications,
and MathSciDisc.
An Associate
Editor is responsible for a broad area of mathematics. Editors select articles
and books for coverage, classify these items, determine the type of coverage,
assign selected items for review to reviewers, and edit the reviews when they
are returned.
An individual is
sought who has mathematical breadth with an interest in current developments and
is willing to learn new topics in pure and applied mathematics; the ability to
write well in the English language is important, and the ability to read
mathematics in major foreign languages is an advantage. Evidence of written
scholarship in mathematics is expected. The applicant normally should have at
least five years of relevant academic (or equivalent) experience
beyond the Ph.D.
The twelve-month
salary will be commensurate with the experience the applicant brings to the
position. Interested applicants are invited to write (or telephone) for further
information.
Applications
(including curriculum vitae; bibliography; and the names, addresses, phone
numbers, and email addresses of at least three references) and recommendations
should be sent to
