Faculty Position in Statistics (Open Rank)
The Department of Statistics at the University of Virginia (UVA), College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, invites applicants for a tenured or tenure-track Faculty appointment at the level of Professor, Associate Professor, or Assistant Professor. All research areas in Statistics are considered, with special interest in candidates whose research complements, but does not precisely duplicate, existing departmental expertise. Student interest in statistics research at all levels continues to increase, due to the department’s camaraderie and its faculty’s diverse interdisciplinary collaborations. We welcome those whose research and teaching span statistical methodology and computing across numerous disciplines, including UVA’s Grand Challenges. The Department of Statistics at UVA was established in 1989 and offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Ph.D. degrees in Statistics. It currently has 21 research and teaching faculty. Faculty and students work closely with biostatisticians in the adjacent School of Medicine, as well as with UVA’s Quantitative Collaborative (Social Sciences), School of Data Science, and other departments and schools. Qualifications Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics, or a related field by the start date. The ideal candidate should show strong potential to contribute to the Department’s mission to offer creative and novel research, engage in external funding opportunities, excel in teaching and advising at all levels of students, provide service to the department, university and professional organizations, and have a demonstrated record, or potential for, strong leadership in research and the profession at large. Application Instructions To apply, candidates should submit: 1) Cover letter, that summarizes research plans, teaching interests and experience, and strong leadership skills and experience; 2) CV; 3) Research agenda, including potential collaborations at UVA; 4) Teaching philosophy and experience; 5) Contact information for at least 3 references. Review of applications will begin November 1, 2025; candidates who apply by then will be given priority consideration. The position will remain open until filled. The university will perform background checks on all new hires prior to employment. For questions about the position, contact Karen Kafadar, Search Committee Chair, kk3ab@virginia.edu.
