Duties & Responsibilities: The Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago invites applications from exceptionally qualified candidates for faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Professor. We seek individuals doing advanced research with a basis in statistical theory, methodology, or probability. As part of a University of Chicago initiative, some applicants would be expected to work in scientifically focused computation or applied mathematics, but hiring is not limited to that initiative. It is expected that all successful applicants will engage in the direction of doctoral dissertations, as well as teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Interdisciplinary collaboration will be particularly valued. While not all applicants need be specifically trained in statistics, they must have doctorates in statistics or some field of mathematics or science where statistical concepts or methods play an important role. Appointments may be made jointly with another department in the University. A demonstrated research excellence appropriate to the rank is essential. Applicants must apply online at the University of Chicago Academic Jobs website at http://tinyurl.com/cwgkmbw, and must upload a cover letter and CV. Three letters of reference will be required. Referral letter submission information will be provided during the application process. In addition, up to three relevant research publications may also be sent to the Search Committee. Application screening will begin no later than November 1, 2012; submission by December 1, 2012, will ensure consideration during this academic year, but the search will continue until all positions are filled or the search is closed.
