The Mathematics Department at Bucknell University invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in Statistics, to begin August 1, 2022. We typically hire at the Assistant Professor level, but outstanding candidates will be considered at the Associate Professor or Professor level. Finalists for this position who wish to be considered for tenure upon appointment will be asked to submit a complete tenure dossier. Qualifications for the positions include a Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics, Data Science, or a closely related field, a strong commitment to teaching, and a high potential for research. We seek teacher-scholars who will contribute to the department's focus on inclusiveness and the liberal arts mission, and who display a strong commitment to collaboration and interdisciplinarity. The successful candidates will join a team of four other statisticians teaching a variety of statistics courses while maintaining an active research program.

Applications include a curriculum vita, graduate transcripts (unofficial copies accepted), a teaching statement, a research statement including a section addressing opportunities for undergraduate research, and a diversity statement including experiences and leadership in diversity, equity, and inclusion, or the potential to make contributions in these areas. Please submit these and all other supporting materials electronically at mathjobs.org. Please arrange for three letters of recommendation (at least one of which addresses teaching beyond what may be found in student evaluations) to be uploaded at mathjobs.org. Review of applications will begin no later than October 11, 2021, and will continue until the positions are filled.
