The Statistics Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is pleased to recruit candidates for five tenure-leading assistant professor positions. We are seeking candidates primarily in emerging or rapidly advancing branches of statistics who have demonstrated a high level of skill in methodology, data analysis, and computation.
The successful candidates will develop high-impact, nationally and internationally recognized research and teaching programs in the theory, methodology, and analysis appropriate to important contemporary data driven problems. The Department will support successful candidates to establish effective disciplinary and trans-disciplinary collaborations including integration with existing research groups; connect with stakeholders, agency, and/or industry partners; obtain and leverage external and internal support (grants, fee revenue, etc.) for research and teaching activities; mentor undergraduate and graduate students; publish in high-quality, high-impact peer-reviewed journals and participate in scientific meetings and other appropriate activities; and translate research-based information into learner-centered products.
The successful candidates will be expected to teach up to four regular courses per academic year with considerable reductions to encourage research and other professional productivity. In addition, the successful candidates will participate in program and curriculum development. The contract length is negotiable (nine month or twelve month) and may include an extension component.
