The Department of Statistics 
https://www.soe.ucsc.edu/departments/statistics
at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications 
for
a Visiting Assistant Professor. We seek outstanding applicants whose
research complements our existing strengths in the areas of Statistics and
Data Science. We are particularly interested in candidates who have
expertise in the formulation and application of modern statistical models
and methods for the analysis of large-dimensional data, hierarchical 
models
and related methods for the quantification of uncertainty using
probabilistic tools. Candidates should have a working knowledge of the
theory and practice of modern statistical methodology that includes the
formulation and application of statistical models for the analysis of data
variability and the quantification of uncertainty using probabilistic
tools. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and maintain
research programs; to teach, mentor, and advise students at the graduate
and undergraduate level individually and in the classroom; to contribute
significantly to graduate education; and, to perform university and
professional service.

The newly formed Department of Statistics is part of the Baskin School of
Engineering. The department has been established by the statistics group 
of
the former Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department. The group has
been present on campus since 2000, and has built a stellar reputation for
its dynamism and innovation. Our graduate program has a steady throughput
of professionals that perform brilliantly in academia, industry and
government, and currently has about 40 students. Research and instruction
are supported by excellent facilities in the breathtaking environment of
our campus. There are strong opportunities to collaborate with colleagues
within the department as well as in the other existing programs in the
School of Engineering, including Biomolecular Engineering, Computer 
Science
and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computational Media,
and Applied Mathematics, who work in a collegial and supportive
environment. More widely, our campus offers fertile grounds for scientific
research in physical, biological and social sciences. Given the proximity
of the campus to Silicon Valley, there are multiple opportunities for
collaboration with investigators working on cutting edge science and
engineering problems in institutions and companies in the area. Examples 
of
these are NASA Ames, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia
National Laboratory, National Marine Fisheries Service of NOAA, Google,
e-Bay, and The Climate Corporation, among others. The candidate will have
the opportunity to leverage the positive environment of the statistics
department to advance a professional focus on high quality teaching and
cutting-edge research.

We welcome candidates who understand the barriers facing women and
minorities who are underrepresented in higher education careers (as
evidenced by life experiences and educational background), and who have
experience in equity and diversity with respect to teaching, mentoring,
research, life experiences, or service towards building an equitable and
diverse scholarly environment.
