Though all specialty areas will be considered, one position is expected to be filled by a candidate with strength in probability and stochastic processes, and a second by a candidate with strength in bioinformatics / statistical genetics. Applicants with expertise in industrial reliability or time series / econometrics are also particularly encouraged to apply.

The Department currently consists of twelve tenured/tenure-track faculty and three full-time instructors. Current research interests of the faculty include nonparametric and semiparametric statistics, reliability and survival analysis, probability and stochastic processes, psychometrics and educational measurement, simultaneous inference, mixed models, environmetrics, and statistics education.
