The Department of Mathematical Sciences is committed to maintaining a top undergraduate mathematics faculty. Our unique mission requires that we retain a faculty that is a blend of exceptional military and civilian professionals.
Our military faculty includes both rotating and permanent positions. Our rotating military faculty consists of active-duty captains, majors, and lieutenant colonels. You can apply to join the rotating military faculty through the Advanced Civil Schooling (ACS) program (master's degree or Ph.D.) or a direct assignment. Our permanent faculty positions are for lieutenant colonels and colonels with Ph.Ds.
If you are a military officer seeking a rotating faculty position within the department, use the CAC-enabled link for TEACH to initiate your application and begin the process of joining our team.
You are highly encouraged to reach out to the military personnel officer (contact info below) to determine ACS feasibility based on your career timeline.
For Ph.D. ACS, please contact the military personnel officer for more information.
For more information, please email the military Personnel Officer or call (845) 938-8133 or DSN (312) 688-8133.
The department continually seeks talented faculty who are experts in the disciplines that comprise our majors and minors – applied statistics and data sciences, mathematical sciences, operations research – and are committed to enhancing the education and development of cadets.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences' research centers offer a robust selection of research, scholarship, collaboration, and professional development opportunities to help our faculty remain at the forefront of their disciplines.

The mission of the Department of Mathematical Sciences is to educate and inspire cadets in the mathematical sciences so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the Army values and to support the development of cadets and faculty for careers of professional excellence and service to the nation as officers in the U.S. Army or leaders in their profession.
It takes a team to ensure the U.S. Military Academy at West Point can fulfill its mission to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. There are roles for military and civilian faculty to teach cadets and for those both in and out of uniform to ensure the systems and processes required to operate a military installation and college campus are in place and running efficiently.
