The Division of Biostatistics, School of Public Health, at the University of Minnesota is announcing openings for two tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank.
We are especially interested in applicants with a PhD in statistics or biostatistics, who have strong academic and research records in (1) spatial and spatiotemporal statistics, especially as applied in environmental or climatological science and related health impacts, (2) the development of innovative approaches, methods, and software for the manipulation and analysis of “big data” in the biomedical sciences, especially using machine learning techniques, and (3) structural equation modeling (SEM), causal analysis, and other methods useful for accounting for latent factors in observational data. We will however consider applications from candidates in other important related research areas, as well as those with PhDs in areas besides biostatistics or statistics.
A successful candidate will be responsible for teaching classes, advising students at the graduate level, writing methodological research papers, and developing externally funded grant applications. Candidate will also serve on various division and school level committees. The tenure-track Assistant Professor candidate must show promise in methodological and collaborative research. Appointment at the tenure-track/tenured Associate Professor level requires the candidate to demonstrate a track record of outstanding methodological and collaborative research, as well as externally funded grants.
The salary range for these faculty positions will be very competitive, and the University of Minnesota offers excellent fringe benefits.
The Division has significant strengths in the broad areas targeted by this search. Current research in statistical methodology includes causal modeling, adaptive clinical trials, statistical genetics and bioinformatics including genomics and proteomics, analysis of spatial and longitudinal data, medical imaging methods, Bayesian methods, computer-intensive methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo, survival analysis, and statistical data mining. Our faculty’s methods grants complement our large, more collaborative research projects with investigators in the University’s Academic Health Center.
At the present time, the Division has statistical and data coordinating centers for NIH-funded clinical trials networks in HIV/AIDS, Ebola and other infectious diseases, and in lung and cardiovascular disease. The Division also collaborates actively on research in cancer prevention and treatment, dentistry and periodontology, psychiatry/psychology, environmental and occupational health, health policy, chronic and neurodegenerative diseases, and smoking prevention. Multi-year grants and contracts for various Divisional projects total over $150 M.
