Employer: Boston University School of Management
Position: Executive Director, Mathematical Finance Program
Location: Boston, MA 02215
Compensation: Commensurate with experience
The Executive Director (ED) will work with the faculty of the Mathematical Finance Program (MF) and will play a critical role in refining the MF Program, with special focus on expanding liaisons with industry, creating student internships and successful job placement. Together with MF faculty the ED will develop and implement strategies that will have a major impact on the future success of the MF program.
The Mathematical Finance Program offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The ED will be directly involved in setting admissions priorities and will work with the SMG Graduate Admissions Office to develop strategies to attract highly qualified applicants to the program. As the chief spokesperson of the Program, he/she will participate in outreach sessions throughout the U.S. and abroad. As required, the ED will participate in individual applicant reviews or interviews.
A key responsibility for the ED will be to establish connections with major domestic and international financial institutions. The ED will identify target companies and individuals with whom the MF Program can engage to enrich the curriculum, mentor students, and provide internships and job opportunities. He/she will help attract corporate sponsorships to promote MF related activities in the School, including a seminar series, conferences and research activities. Creation of strong strategic linkages with industry is crucial to the positive development of the MF program and will require an in-depth knowledge of industry practices and staffing needs.
The ED will be a member of the MF Program Development Committee and will oversee execution of curricular revisions, including working with SMG program offices to properly establish changes at the University level. He/she will continually monitor other financial engineering programs to assure that the SMG program is highly competitive and up-to-date and will propose curricular changes based on this benchmarking. In addition, the ED will create a seminar series for students utilizing guest speakers from industry, regulatory agencies and academia. The first contact point for students, the ED will address student concerns and, as necessary, bring them to the MF faculty for discussion.
