United States Naval Academy
Tenure-track Assistant
Professorship in Statistics
Department of Mathematics
Applications are invited for
an anticipated tenure-track position (subject to approval and funding) in
statistics at the assistant professor level to start in August
2010. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in statistics or biostatistics. A Ph.D. in a mathematical science with
applied statistical experience may also be considered. Candidates must
demonstrate a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and should exhibit
potential to continue an active scholarly program. Promotion and
tenure evaluations follow the American Association of University Professors
guidelines.
The USNA Mathematics
Department currently has two faculty members with primary interests in
statistics and offers both introductory and advanced statistics courses.
The successful candidate will work with these faculty members to continue to
develop the statistics curriculum at USNA. Candidates will be expected
to teach all levels of undergraduate statistics, as well as offer advanced
courses in their own areas of interest. The Mathematics Department
also includes a group of faculty whose primary interests are in Operations
Research and administers a quantitative economics major jointly with the
Economics Department, which offer opportunities for both teaching and
research collaboration. Because this position resides in the
mathematics department, candidates may also be asked to teach more core
mathematics courses.
The Mathematics Department
at USNA consists of 42 civilians with Ph.D.'s and 18 Military Officers
typically with M.S.'s. Full summer research support is usually
available for the first three years of new appointments. In addition,
USNA continues to provide partial research support in the form of matching
funads for research collaborations with Department of Defense, government,
and industry laboratories. Funding is also available to aid in the
development of research with undergraduates. Faculty members receive
full federal government service benefits. Additional information about
USNA and the Mathematics Department can be found at the website
http://www.usna.edu/MathDept/website/index.htm.
Applicants should provide a letter of application that
includes a statement of professional goals (including both a teaching
statement and a research statement), a C.V., three letters of reference (at
least one of which is devoted to the applicant's experience and promise as a
teacher), and copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts.
Applications will be evaluated starting in December 2009. Send all
materials to: Search Committee - Statistics, Mathematics
