DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS AND ACTUARIAL SCIENCE
Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo is one of five academic units that comprise the Faculty of Mathematics. Beginning in 2003, the Faculty is initiating a major expansion in the area of scientific computing and computational mathematics, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The anticipated growth in student numbers will result in a combined enrollment of 450 scientific computing/ computational mathematics students by the end of this decade.
In anticipation of this expansion, the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science wishes to appoint several additional faculty members with research interests in all areas of computational statistics, probability and data analysis. These appointments will be tenure-track positions, mainly at the Assistant and junior Associate Professor level, but applicants at the Full Professor level with exceptional records will also be given serious consideration. Successful candidates will be expected to participate in the teaching and research activities of the Department and Faculty, particularly via the newly-established Centre for Computational Mathematics in Industry and Commerce (CCMIC). The CCMIC will oversee both the undergraduate and graduate programs on which the proposed expansion in scientific computing and computational mathematics is based. These new faculty positions will add to or complement the current strength in the Department in the areas of statistical programming environments, data reduction, analysis and visualization, simulation, statistical learning, data-mining, drug discovery and computer experimentation, as well as computational finance. To learn more about the CCMIC, see http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/navigation/Current/comp_math.shtml
Applicants must have a PhD in Statistics, Computer Science, or a related discipline, with a proven ability in or potential for research in computational statistics. Good teaching and communication skills are also essential. Interested individuals should send a curriculum vitae, a statement of their research interests, two recent research articles, and the names and addresses of at least three references to Dr. Alan George, Dean, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1 ([email protected]) by December 31, 2003.
In accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be considered first for these positions. The University of Waterloo encourages applications from all qualified individuals including women, members of visible minorities, native peoples, and persons with disabilities.
