  • September 19, 2007 - Faculty Position at Duke University

    The Department of Statistical Science invites applications for faculty appointment at the level of Associate or Assistant Professor to begin in Fall 2008. Preference will be given to candidates whose core statistical science research interests are complemented with collaborative research interest in systems biology, neurosciences, social sciences, or environmental science.

    The Department of Statistical Science is an internationally recognized center of excellence for research and education in the development and application of contemporary statistical methodology. Particular emphasis is directed toward Bayesian modeling in many scientific fields as well as emerging computationally intensive methods. The Department offers outstanding computational facilities and opportunities for interdisciplinary research. It currently has 12 regular rank faculty along with 13 visiting, adjunct, and post doctoral faculty and 33 Ph.D. students.

    The Ph.D. program as well as the Department's research agenda benefit from strong connections with the Statistics and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) and the National Institute of Statistical Science (NISS), both located nearby in the Research Triangle. A Statistical Science major, started last Fall, provides the primary focus of our undergraduate program. More information is available at the Department's web site http://www.stat.duke.edu.

    All applicants should send a letter, curriculum vitae, and three reference letters. Applicants are encouraged to submit materials electronically at http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/Duke/StatSci/ to expedite the review process.
