Diversity

Fordham’s 2020 Diversity Action Plan commits it to addressing racism, educating for justice and pursuing greater diversity, equity, and inclusion across the University.

Research and Teaching

Although we are an undergraduate Department, our tenured and tenure-track faculty all have active research programs and an increasing number are supported by external grants. Our specialties include number theory, algebraic geometry, PDEs, dynamical systems, geometric measure theory, and probability theory.

Fordham’s educational mission is centered on a tradition of cura personalis, respect and care for the entire person. We believe that cultural and intellectual diversity is central to the excellence of our academic program and we welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. To tailor instruction to this tradition, classes are small (at most 25 students in courses in the Mathematics major and 35 in service courses). The nominal load is 7.5 contact hours per semester (“3-2”), usually with at most 2 preparations. We expect that the number of hours candidates devote to teaching is comparable to that in similar junior positions in “2-2” departments.

Location

Our undergraduate programs are in two locations. Fordham College at Rose Hill lies in a beautiful 85-acre Bronx campus bordered by dynamic, diverse neighborhoods that characterize this legendary borough, the scenic New York Botanical Gardens, and the Wildlife Conservation Society’s world-renowned 265-acre Bronx Zoo. Fordham College at Lincoln Center, is located in midtown Manhattan adjacent to the world-renowned Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and a block from Columbus Circle and Central Park. The University operates a fleet of express vans that connect the two campuses in
30 minutes and operate year-round 18-22 hours a day.

Mathematics in the New York area

New York is one of the most important mathematical centers in the United States. Columbia University, New York University and the City University of New York are all located within 30 minutes of Fordham. Rutgers and Stony Brook can be reached in just under an hour by car or train and Princeton and Yale in just over an hour. The Department is generally able to arrange teaching schedules to allow faculty to attend seminars and courses in their specialty at these area institutions, and many members of the department actively collaborate with their faculty.
