Assistant Professor Position, University of California Santa Cruz
The Department of Statistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a tenure-track position in Statistical Data Science at the Assistant Professor level. We are particularly interested in candidates with research expertise in statistical methods that incorporate model development integrating subject-matter information, computational-inference techniques, predictive approaches, optimal decision-making, and probabilistic quantification of uncertainty.
The successful candidate is expected to develop a research program, advise and mentor graduate students, obtain external funding, develop and teach courses within the undergraduate and graduate curriculum, and contribute significantly to graduate education. Additionally, they will perform university, public, and professional service, and interact broadly with researchers in Silicon Valley industrial research and advanced development labs. The candidate should be able to work with students, faculty, and staff from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds.
