Position Summary
The Department of Mathematics and Statistical Science is seeking to hire a new faculty person at the tenure track assistant professor level. We seek a statistician to establish strong research programs that build on existing strengths and collaborations within the college and university. We are looking for a faculty member with broad expertise in statistics, with research interests that could benefit fundamental and applied research related to sustainability, broadly defined. This is part of a cluster hire in the College of Science as part of the University of Idaho’s focus on sustainability. We seek to aim our research infrastructure at the most pressing problems facing humanity over the next decades. The college places a high priority on increasing faculty diversity, and we are committed to hiring, supporting, and retaining a diverse team of researchers.

Scholarship duties include conducting research in statistics and in collaboration with researchers in other fields, disseminating research through publications in refereed professional journals, and seeking external funding to support research activities. Service duties include serving on committees and participating in recruitment and retention efforts. Outreach duties include participating in activities related to community involvement and serving in the professional community through reviewing manuscripts and proposals and conducting workshops.
Unit/Department Summary
The University of Idaho is in the city of Moscow, located just nine miles from Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. The Department of Mathematics and Statistical Science is housed within the College of Science at the University of Idaho.
