Visiting Assistant Professor Position at UCSC

Sep 16, 2021

The Department of Statistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a visiting assistant professor. We seek outstanding applicants whose research complements our existing strengths in the areas of Statistics and Data Science. We are particularly interested in candidates with research expertise in statistical methods that incorporate model development integrating subject-matter information, computational-inference techniques, predictive approaches, optimal decision-making, and probabilistic quantification of uncertainty. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and maintain research programs; to teach, mentor, and advise students at the graduate and undergraduate level individually and in the classroom; to contribute significantly to graduate education; and, to perform university and professional service.

The Department of Statistics is part of the Baskin School of Engineering and has a stellar reputation for its dynamism and innovation in interdisciplinary research. Our graduate program has a steady throughput of professionals that perform brilliantly in academia, industry, and government, and it currently has about 40 students. Our school has nationally and internationally known researchers in many areas. UC Santa Cruz is a member of the AAU, an association of the top research universities in the US. Our campus is the nearest University of California campus to Silicon Valley and has close research ties with the local computer industry. Nestled in a redwood forest above the city of Santa Cruz, our campus has a long history of embracing groundbreaking interdisciplinary work. Our proximity to Silicon Valley, and our satellite campus there, afford opportunities and avenues for collaboration with researchers working in the many research and development labs in Silicon Valley, as well as with the other San Francisco Bay Area universities.

We welcome candidates who understand the barriers facing traditionally underrepresented groups in higher education, and who have engaged in teaching, research, professional and/or public service contributions that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. These can take a variety of forms such as, but not limited to, effective pedagogical strategies used for the educational advancement of students in underrepresented groups; demonstrated contributions to the advancement of access and equal opportunity in education; and participation in activities that support the recruitment, retention, and success of scholars and students.

Salary range: Commensurate with qualifications and experience
Percent time: Fulltime (100%)
Anticipated start: As soon as possible after initial review of the applications. It is expected that the degree requirement will be completed by December 31, 2021.
