The Department of Statistical Sciences, University of
Toronto, invites applications for a tenure-stream appointment in Statistical
Science. The appointment is at the rank of Assistant Professor and will
commence July 1, 2018.
We are interested in candidates from all areas of the statistical sciences that
impact statistical genetics and genomics, and all other quantitative “omics”

strengths, and who are working on non-traditional areas at the cutting edge of
the statistical sciences.
Applicants must have a PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics or a closely related
field by the time of appointment or shortly thereafter, and must demonstrate
excellence in teaching and research. Evidence of research excellence will
consist of publications in top ranked and field-relevant academic journals,
presentations at top conferences, research awards and accolades, and strong endorsements
by referees of top international stature. Evidence for excellence in teaching
is based on strong letters of reference and a teaching dossier containing a
strong statement of teaching philosophy, teaching accomplishments and
evaluations.
The University of Toronto is an international leader in statistical science
research and education. Successful candidates are expected to pursue
independent, innovative research at the highest international level; to
establish a strong externally funded independent research program; to have a
strong commitment to undergraduate and graduate teaching, and to contribute to
the enrichment of all aspects of the Department.
Salary and start-up packages are competitive with our North American peers and
will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

and include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, research and teaching
statements, as well as a teaching dossier. Applicants should also arrange to
have at least three letters of reference (on letterhead and signed) uploaded
