Assistant Professor - Statistics

Creighton University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning in August 2022. We seek individuals committed to being outstanding teacher-scholars within a primarily undergraduate institution.  A Ph.D. in Statistics or Data Science is preferred, though applicants with a PhD in mathematics and a strong background in statistics or data science will be considered. Successful candidates will have strong evidence of excellent teaching and scholarly potential.

The initial application includes a cover letter, current curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, research plan, and at least three letters of recommendation.  Initial applications must be submitted electronically at https://careers.creighton.edu . Reference letters may be submitted electronically through Mathjobs.org (https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/17935 ) or emailed by the reference directly to Nicole Lakeman ([email protected] ).

Applicants who advance beyond the initial selection process will be asked to provide unofficial undergraduate and graduate transcripts, with official copies required by the end of the process.  Applicants who advance beyond the initial selection process will also be required to submit a statement addressing their fit within the mission of the College of Arts and Sciences.

The position's duties (typically) include a 3-course teaching load each semester, substantive progress on research or scholarly work, and department service. The department has been extremely active in interdisciplinary outreach and programs, such as the new interdisciplinary major and minor in Data Science, Medical Mathematics major program for pre-health science students, and courses taught for the Health Administration and Policy program.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but review of applications will begin now. Questions regarding the position may be directed to the chair of the search committee, Dr. Nathan Pennington, at [email protected] .
