The Department of Statistics in the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University invites applications for three tenure-track Assistant Professors and one additional open rank position to begin in the Autumn Semester of 2015.
All four positions are partially funded by Ohio State's Discovery Themes Initiative, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration to make a global impact.
We seek energetic researchers in areas of modern statistical methods, computation, and data analysis. For one of the Assistant Professor positions and the open-rank position, applicants should have expertise in statistics and machine learning. An appointment at the Associate or Full level should have demonstrated ability for scholarly leadership. For the second Assistant Professor position, applicants should have expertise in statistics directed to modeling, inference, and prediction in big data contexts. For the third Assistant Professor position, applicants should have expertise in data intensive computing. In all cases, commitments to both methodological research and scientific collaboration are required. Interests in applications to decision analysis in the presence of uncertainty, complex systems, including physical and biological systems as well as those involving human behavior and well-being are of special interest. Faculty members should be dedicated to the development and delivery of educational programs at all levels.
Candidates are expected to have a PhD in Statistics (or related area) by August 15, 2015 and to present evidence of excellence in teaching and in both methodological and collaborative research. Further information about the department can be found at http://www.stat.osu.edu/.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and statements of research and teaching interests, and arrange for submission of at least three letters of reference.
