Four Positions in Statistics, Biostatistics or Data Science

The Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo invites applications for four tenure-track faculty positions in statistics, biostatistics or data science. If circumstances warrant, appointments at Associate or Full Professor with tenure may be considered. Candidates must have a PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics or a related area and have potential or proven ability to develop an internationally recognized research program. Candidates should also have excellent communications skills and a strong commitment to teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The expected start date for these positions is July 1, 2023, though the actual start date is flexible. Note that this search complements the other advertisement the department currently has for one more position in the areas of actuarial science or quantitative finance. The salary range for these positions is \$120,000 to \$170,000, commensurate with qualifications and experience. Negotiations beyond this salary range will be considered for exceptionally qualified candidates.

The University of Waterloo is one of Canada’s leading universities with over 40,000 full- and part-time students in undergraduate and graduate programs. The Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science is one of the top academic units for the statistical and actuarial sciences in the world and is home to over 50 research active full-time faculty and more than 200 graduate students in programs including Statistics, Biostatistics, Data Science, Actuarial Science and Mathematical Finance. The department offers a vibrant research environment for a wide range of areas and benefits from close relationships with many research groups on campus including the Waterloo Artificial Intelligence Institute, the School of Public Health Sciences, the Waterloo Climate Institute, and the Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience.
