The Department of Mathematics is excited to announce our search for a statistician who will contribute to curricular development in our upper-level statistics curriculum, mentor student projects, and support our current offerings in statistics. The successful candidate may have research interests in some area of Bayesian statistics, time-series, statistical learning, biostatistics, and/or computational methods, though all areas of statistics will be fully considered. All Colgate faculty participate in all-university programs, including the Liberal Arts Core Curriculum.

A cover letter, curriculum vitae, 3 current reference letters, a research statement and a teaching statement must be submitted through https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/18296. At least two letters should describe the research skills of the candidate and at least one should describe the teaching skills of the candidate in detail. The application should include a description of how the candidate’s scholarly interests, broadly defined, can engage undergraduate students either by encouraging their interest in, or by directly involving them with, the research process. Colgate strives to be a community supportive of diverse perspectives and identities. All applications should speak directly to the candidate’s ability to work effectively with students across a wide range of identities and backgrounds. Please indicate the location of this description in the cover letter; this location could be the cover letter itself, the teaching/research statements and/or a diversity statement. Review of applications will begin on October 25, 2021 and continue until the position is filled.
