Position Title:
Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Biostatistics (Tenure/Tenure Track) - 2 Positions
Duties & Responsibilities:
The Division of Biostatistics, School of Public Health, at the University of Minnesota is announcing two openings for tenured or tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank. A successful candidate will also be responsible for teaching and advising students at the graduate level. At the present time, the Division has 47 graduate students (27 MS and 20 PhD). The salary range for these faculty positions will be very competitive, and the University of Minnesota offers excellent fringe benefits.
Position Qualifications:
We are especially interested in individuals with academic and research records in (1) Bayesian and other adaptive methods for clinical trials, safety analysis and related applications, and (2) structural equation modeling (SEM), causal analysis, and other methods useful for accounting for latent factors in observational data. Partial salary support for the first position will be provided by Medtronic, Inc., an industry leader in using Bayesian and other adaptive methods in medical device development. We will however consider applications from candidates in other important related research areas, as well as those with PhDs in areas besides biostatistics. The Division has significant strengths in the broad areas targeted by this search, with several faculty members having active research agendas and both methodological and applied funding in areas such as spatial epidemiology, environmental health, cancer control, adaptive clinical trials, and bioinformatics. These grants complement our larger, more collaborative research projects with investigators in the University’s Academic Health Center. At the present time, the Division has statistical and data coordinating centers for NIH-funded clinical trials networks in HIV/AIDS, and in lung and cardiovascular disease.
