Positions of people (with their advisors listed if I happen to know it) who graduated from the MSU department of mathematics with a PhD (i.e., with either an applied math or just math degree), incomplete list in no particular order.
This is a list made for myself by myself and it is not infallible. It is incomplete. This list was made by looking up people's names on Google and also by looking at PhD advisors' websites for information regarding positions of people.
If there is an inaccuracy or an omission you would like to see fixed, send me an email about it.
I might not list the ``actual'' names of the positions, e.g., I call ``Hale Visiting Assistant Professor'' a postdoc. Similarly if I don't know what someone outside of academia's position is called, I might just say ``industry'' or ``government''.
