The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Duquesne University invites applications for a tenure-track position in statistics, beginning in fall 2016, at the rank of assistant professor. The candidate should have a Ph.D. by the time of appointment, and will become the third tenure-track statistician joining 21 other full-time faculty members in the department. We offer a multidisciplinary Master's program in computational mathematics as well as undergraduate majors in mathematics and computer science. We also strive to accommodate each faculty member's teaching preferences, including the creation of new courses. Tenure-track faculty members are expected to perform well both in the classroom and as researchers. The maximum expected teaching load is three courses per semester, with a pre-tenure sabbatical and other potential reductions available to support research.
Applications should be made at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/7475. Full consideration will be given to applications received by December 1, 2015.
