The Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) at the Colorado School of Mines (Mines) is seeking applicants for two faculty positions with expertise in the fields of Data Science and Statistics.
The first position is tenured or tenure-track open rank, while the second position is tenure-track at the rank of Assistant Professor. The positions require high-quality, academic teaching experience in data science and statistics at the intersection of theory and substantive applications, as well as a research focus on modeling and computation.
The Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) at Mines has been notably successful in creating programs that draw on the strengths and richness from both the mathematical and statistical sciences. Our teaching and research are focused at the interface of Computational Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Data Science allowing us to provide structure, rigor, and quantitative insights for the collaborative solution of data-driven problems that are a feature of the 21st century world. A common theme throughout much of the department’s activity is a focus on models and methods for “data” in its many forms: ranging from large remotely sensed observations to the often complex output from numerical models to subject responses in medical studies. This broad interest in mathematical models and substantive data has created a collegial research environment among our faculty and also fostered many interdisciplinary collaborations across Mines and the broader Colorado research community including research centers, academic hospitals, consortia, agencies, and national labs.
Successful candidates will contribute to the University’s mission of creating a sustainable global society by educating the next generation of scientists, engineers, and leaders, and by expanding the frontiers of knowledge through research. A high value is placed on applicants who can collaborate across disciplinary boundaries and secure research funding from a diverse array of sources, including support from industry. Mines seeks to hire candidates who contribute to an outstanding university experience for our students through their education and preparation for careers after graduation. In addition, preference is given to candidates with a passion to advance the university’s and department’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
For questions about this opportunity, contact Douglas Nychka, AMS search committee chair, at nychka@mines.edu.
