University of Illinois at Chicago
Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science
Applications are invited for the following position, effective August 16,
2020. Final authorization of the position is subject to the availability of
funding.
*Research Assistant Professor in the Foundations of Data Science.* This is
a non-tenure track position, normally renewable annually to a maximum of
three years. This position has been established as part of
interdisciplinary activities under UIC's TRIPODS grant in the foundations
of data science: https://tripods.uic.edu/. Faculty members involved with
the grant span three departments:
- Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, https://mscs.uic.edu/
- Computer Science, https://cs.uic.edu/
- Electrical and Computer Engineering, https://ece.uic.edu/
This position carries a teaching responsibility of one course per year and
the expectation that the incumbent play a significant role in research
across the three departments involved. Applicants must show evidence of
outstanding research in the foundations of data science within mathematics,
theoretical computer science, probability, statistics, information theory,
electrical engineering, or a related field. Applicants should expect to
have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by the start date.
While the position will be hosted in the Department of Mathematics,
Statistics, and Computer Science, the incumbent may be mentored by faculty
in any of the three departments and will be expected to interact with
faculty, postdocs, and graduate students across the three departments.
Applicants should provide a vita, research statement, and at least three
(3) letters of recommendation. Applications should be submitted through
mathjobs.org at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/15259. No applications
will be accepted by surface mail or e-mail. To ensure full consideration,
application materials must be received by December 31, 2019, but
applications will be accepted through January 24, 2020.
