The Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Ottawa invites applications to fill two tenure-track positions in Statistics or Applied Probability at the Assistant or Associate professor level, starting July 1, 2014. We are seeking candidates who have a proven track-record in research, the ability to teach statistics and probability at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and the desire and ability to supervise graduate students. Strong preference for at least one of the positions will be given to candidates who are able to teach in French. The conditions of employment are set by a collective agreement.
The University of Ottawa is home to the Ottawa Heart Institute, a Faculty of Medicine, and the Telfer School of Management. It is located strategically close to Health Canada, Statistics Canada, the Bank of Canada and other government agencies. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is part of the Ottawa-Carleton Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, and is a sponsor of the Fields Institute of Toronto and the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques of Montréal. More information about the department can be found at http://www.mathstat.uottawa.ca/welcome.html.
Applicants should provide a curriculum vitae and a research plan, and arrange for four confidential letters of recommendation, with one addressing teaching, to be submitted through the AMS Mathjobs web site, https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/5045 . Applicants are also encouraged to include copies of up to three of their most significant publications. Applications will be reviewed starting on November 15th, 2013, and until the position is filled.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Equity is a University of Ottawa policy; women, aboriginal peoples, members of visible minorities and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
