The Department of Statistical Science at Duke University invites applications for appointments at the level of Assistant Professor to begin in Fall 2015.
Preference will be given to candidates whose core statistical science research interests are complemented by collaborative research interests in areas including economics, finance or other areas of the social and policy sciences, computer science, neurosciences, and environmental science. We are particularly interested in applicants with demonstrated experience in complex stochastic modeling and computation for large-scale problems and data sets.
The Department is an internationally recognized center of excellence for research and education in contemporary statistical methodology. With leading strengths in Bayesian analysis, interdisciplinary applications and computationally intensive methods, the Department offers outstanding computational facilities and opportunities for interdisciplinary research. We currently have 18 regular rank faculty, 16 visiting, adjunct, and postdoctoral faculty, and over 75 graduate students. Beyond core research in statistical and computational sciences, we have many collaborative interactions with multiple other Duke departments, institutes and centers, including the Information Initiative at Duke (iiD), Duke Institute for Brain Sciences (DIBS), and Social Science Research Initiative (SSRI). Complementary interactions involve long-standing associations with the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) and the National Institute of Statistical Science (NISS), located nearby in the Research Triangle Park, as well as many collaborators, institutes and companies around the US and worldwide.
Our internationally recognized PhD program is complemented by our MS in Statistical Science, our MS in Statistical and Economic Modeling, and our Statistical Science undergraduate degree. More information is available at the department website http://stat.duke.edu.
