Appointments in Statistics, Stanford, California

The Statistics Department seeks applicants for two junior positions in either applied or theoretical statistics:

1) a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level, and

2) a Stein Fellow, for two years with possible extension to three years.

The Stein Fellowship is designed to be a career building step for new scholars.

Opportunities will be offered for the fellow to participate in some of the department’s on-going research projects on statistical theory & methods as well as their applications to diverse subject areas.

The Stein Fellow will have a light teaching load — two one quarter courses will be taught in each of the first and third academic years.

The second year responsibilities will also include a third course on an advanced topic.
