Position Title:
Assistant/Associate Professor of Mathematics & Statistics
Duties & Responsibilities:
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) invites outstanding applicants for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor position in Statistics starting August 2013. We seek a broadly trained statistician who has the potential to collaboratively contribute to interdisciplinary curricular and scholarly efforts within the School of Science and at the College. This search is focused on candidates with a background and current interests in computational statistics. The successful candidate will be passionate about teaching statistics at every level of the undergraduate curriculum in a primarily liberal-arts institution. The typical teaching load is 2 to 3 courses per semester and will be a mixture of upper-level and introductory-level statistics courses. An earned doctorate in statistics, or a closely-related field is required. Although post-doctoral experience is preferred, other backgrounds will be considered; ABDs will be considered only if the degree will be completed prior to start date. Teaching and research are mutually supportive activities at TCNJ. Candidates should be strongly committed to the teacher-scholar model in a primarily undergraduate, residential institution, to maintaining both high quality teaching and an active and productive research program, and to encouraging and engaging highly motivated undergraduates in intensive, individual work both inside and outside the classroom (e.g., undergraduate research, independent study). Faculty members also serve as academic advisors and have service responsibilities within the College. The Mathematics and Statistics Department is housed in a modern building that offers excellent facilities. For further information about our program, please visit: http://www.tcnj.edu/~mathstat/.
