THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES AND DATA SCIENCE

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Memphis anticipates hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Statistics and Data Science to begin in the January of 2023. Applications are invited from candidates with a PhD in Statistics and Data Science, or related areas in Mathematical Sciences with research interests in statistical analysis of complex, dependent high dimensional data and the use of graph theory and combinatorics for high dimensional statistical graphical networks. Candidates with interests in foundational statistics research in classification, clustering, and dimension reduction of big data and those with research interests at the intersection of statistics, graph theory, combinatorics, and applied mathematics with a focus on data science are especially welcomed to apply.

Candidates are expected to have a proven record of collaborative research, strong communications skills, and will be expected to seek external funding.
