Opportunities are available to participate in both funded research and unfunded graduate student research including advising students and serving on research committees.  The department also teaches a broad range of statistics courses from Introductory Statistics to special topics geared toward graduate students.

Applicants must be ABD with completion of all requirements for the PhD in statistics by July 1, 2021.
