University of California at Davis
Department of Statistics

The Department of Statistics invites applications for two faculty
positions that will start on July 1, 2004. Each position is either at the
tenure-track Assistant Professor rank or at the tenured Associate
Professor rank, depending on qualifications.

Applicants must have a Ph.D.  in Statistics or a related field. An
outstanding research and teaching record is required for an appointment
with tenure; and demonstrated interest and ability to achieve such a
record is required for a tenure track appointment.

Preferred research areas are computational statistics, statistical
learning, bioinformatics/biostatistics, or time series/spatial statistics.
Candidates with demonstrated research interest in statistical theory
motivated by complex applications, such as methods for the analysis of
high-dimensional data from longitudinal or imaging sources, or
genomics/proteomics are strongly encouraged to apply.

The successful candidates will be expected to teach at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels. UC Davis has launched Bioinformatics
and Computational Science initiatives, and has recently established a
graduate program in Biostatistics, in addition to the existing Ph.D./M.S.
program in Statistics.
