Tenure Track Position in Statistics at Simmons College, Boston, MA
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Simmons College is seeking applicants for a tenure track position in Statistics at the Assistant Professor level to begin Fall, 2018. The successful candidate will have an earned doctorate in Statistics or Biostatistics and a strong commitment to teaching modern statistical methods at the undergraduate level. Candidates who are ABD and expect to complete their programs by fall, 2018 will also be considered.
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics houses majors in Mathematics, Biostatistics, and Data Science (jointly with Computer Science), as well as several other inter-disciplinary majors. Approximately ¾ of all undergraduates at Simmons take at least one course in statistics, and all of the undergraduate statistics courses at Simmons are taught in the Mathematics and Statistics Department. We also teach graduate level courses for several other programs. Accordingly the candidate should be able to teach both undergraduate and applied graduate level courses, as well as serve as a statistical resource for students doing research at both levels.
Our Department and the whole College is a collegial, supportive environment in which to work, as well as being located in a city where there is much statistical activity and many resources. We are particularly proud of our record of being at the forefront of pedagogical innovation in our teaching of statistics, of encouraging our undergraduates to do research, and of the proportion of our students who are accepted in graduate programs in statistics and biostatistics and in prestigious summer programs for undergraduates.
