The Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University seeks to hire two tenure-track professors to begin in August 2015.
The first position is at the assistant professor level. We seek individuals with strong potential to excel in teaching and to develop an independent research program, preferably with an emphasis on big-data applications. This position is partially funded by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and thus the applicant is expected to collaborate with scientists from the ecological and agricultural sciences. To apply, please visit http://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/39816
The second position is at the assistant or associate level. Applicants may have interest in theoretical or methodological research in any area of statistics, but high priority will be given to individuals with strong computational skills, interest in high-dimensional data analysis, and ability and desire to supervise graduate student research. Excellence in teaching is also a key expectation. To apply, please visit http://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/39456
The Department provides a dynamic environment for teaching, research and collaborations across disciplines. Inclusiveness and diversity are academic imperatives and thus are university goals. We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and a demonstrated commitment to improving access to higher education for students from underrepresented groups. The Department's location in the Research Triangle provides rich opportunities for interactions with industry; other universities, including Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and government agencies. Faculty enjoy collaborations with medical researchers at Duke, environmental scientists at the EPA research facility, pharmaceutical researchers at Glaxo-SmithKline, and software developers at SAS Institute, among many others. The Department is also a founding cooperator of the National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) and the NSF-funded Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI), both located nearby in Research Triangle Park.
All applicants must have a Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics or relevant field by the time of employment. Processing of applications will begin December 1, 2014, and continue until the position is filled.
