The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (SoMSS) and the Biodesign Center for Mechanisms of Evolution (CME) at Arizona State University invite applications for one tenure‐eligible position in statistics. Rank and tenure status will be commensurate with experience. Anticipated start date is Fall 2018. This position is jointly funded by SoMSS and CME with tenure home in SoMSS.
The Statistics program within SoMSS currently contains eight faculty members and the University intends to increase the size and scope of this program significantly within the next few years. The expanded statistics group will be expected to increase its interdisciplinary, applied and core research productivity, foster growth in its teaching programs, and provide consulting services to the university and business community.
The CME is part of a growing community of evolutionary biologists at ASU (https://sols.asu.edu/evolutionary‐biology‐faculty and http://asupopgen.org/). The research
focus of the Center will primarily be at the cellular level, with the group being populated by scientists from the areas of cell biology, microbiology, biophysics, biochemistry, and population genetics. The field of population genetics and its applications is particularly germane to this search.
The essential duties of this position will be to conduct research on statistical theory, methodology, and applications in areas germane to the mechanistic processes underlying evolutionary change; publish in appropriate high‐quality journals, develop proposals for extramural funding, both independently and collaboratively with the CME. The teaching load is anticipated to be one to two classes per year in advanced undergraduate or graduate statistics classes along with mentoring graduate students. In addition, appropriate professional service is expected.
