The University of Tennessee at Knoxville is the flagship university in the Tennessee state higher education system. In recent years, the Department of Mathematics has increased its research prominence both within the University and in the larger mathematical community, and two new postdoctoral positions were added this year in recognition of our heightened visibility. Knoxville is a medium-sized city nestled in the Tennessee Valley, which is bordered on one side by the Great Smoky Mountains and on the other by the geologically rich Cumberland Plateau. The city has a relatively low cost of living, and there is no state income tax on earned income.
