Tenure Track Positions
Position: Assistant Professor of Statistics
Rank: Assistant Professor
Description:
The Department of Statistics seeks to hire four tenure-track Assistant Professors. We seek to hire faculty with a variety of expertise, especially in (i) complex dependence structures; (ii) high-dimensional data; and (iii) the foundations of data science. We interpret each of these areas broadly. Complex data structures include, as examples, data that are distributed in space and time (spatio-temporal dependence), have links between units (network analysis), include individual heterogeneity (random effects), or have unmeasured covariates and unknown relationships (latent variable models). High-dimensional data include, for example, data that are intrinsically high dimensional (large p), live in non-standard spaces (functional data or shape data), for which careful asymptotic analysis is needed (sparse models), or require complex models (nonparametric methods). The foundations include, for example, algorithmic modeling of complex data, large-scale computation, theory for understanding algorithmic models and their evaluation, as well as related applications. Commitments to methodological research and scientific collaboration are expected. For teaching, we seek an individual who is committed to the development and delivery of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We encourage all to apply, especially members of groups that are underrepresented in Statistics and Data Science.
Qualifications:
A Ph.D. in Statistics or related field by the start of employment is required. Appointment is contingent on theuniversity’s verification of credentials and other information required by law and/or university policies, including but not limited to a criminal background check.
About the Department:
The department values the full spectrum of research, including theoretical and methodological development, computational methods, and applications. A particular strength of the department has been its success in collaborative research with many units across the university. In addition to a variety of degrees in Statistics, the department has strong roles in the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Biostatistics, the undergraduate major in Data Analytics, and in the Translational Data Analytics Institute. The department is strongly committed to maintaining the healthy and inclusive atmosphere and mentoring programs that are essential to the growth of its faculty, students and staff.
