The Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago has two openings for the William H. Kruskal Instructorship. We seek recent or expected Ph.D. graduates doing advanced research with a connection to statistical methodology and computation, preferably in relation with a scientific application. It is expected that all successful applicants will engage in teaching two undergraduate Statistics courses and possibly a graduate-level course in their field of interest. While not all applicants need be specifically trained in statistics, they must have doctorates in statistics or some field of mathematics or science where statistical concepts or methods play an important role. A demonstrated research excellence is essential, and research interests related to those of faculty in the Department of Statistics (www.stat.uchicago.edu/people/faculty) or other faculty involved in the Computational and Applied Mathematics Initiative (www.stat.uchicago.edu/cami) is preferred. The position is for two years.

Applicants must apply online at the University of Chicago Academic Jobs website at http://tinyurl.com/c7g52bq, and must upload a cover letter and CV. Three letters of reference will be required. Referral letter submission information will be provided during the application process. In addition, up to three relevant research publications may also be sent to the Search Committee.

Application screening will begin no sooner than June 1, 2013, and will continue until all positions are filled or the search is closed in May 2014. Doctorate must be in hand prior to position start date.

Further inquiry and any requested information other than that uploaded should be sent to the Search Committee at search@galton.uchicago.edu or to Search Committee, Department of Statistics, Eck 108, University of Chicago, 5734 S. University Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637.
