Assistant Professor of Statistics
The Department of Statistics at the University of Virginia (UVA), College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, invites applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor. All research areas in Statistics are considered, with special interest in candidates whose research complements, but does not precisely duplicate, existing departmental expertise. Student interest in statistics research at all levels continues to increase, due to the departments camaraderie and its facultys diverse interdisciplinary collaborations. We welcome those whose research and teaching span statistical methodology and computing across numerous disciplines, including UVAs Grand Challenges; see research.virginia.edu/Grand-challenges.
The Department of Statistics at UVA was established in 1989 and offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Ph.D. degrees in Statistics. It currently has 21 research and teaching faculty. Since 2014, the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences has made significant investments in the department, leading to a three-fold growth in faculty, a six-fold increase in undergraduate majors, and several new statistics courses, degree programs, and initiatives in the past 10 years. Faculty and students work closely with biostatisticians in the adjacent School of Medicine, as well as with UVAs Quantitative Collaborative (Social Sciences), School of Data Science, and other departments and schools; interests range from theoretical to applied statistics (including statistics in the physical, medical, and social sciences), with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaborations. All faculty supervise a growing number of students at all levels.
