The Department of Statistics at the University of Virginia (UVA), College 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. The department welcomes scholars whose work spans statistical methodology and computing across numerous disciplines, including UVA’s Grand Challenges. Faculty and students collaborate with biostatisticians in the adjacent School of Medicine and with UVA’s Quantitative Collaborative, School of Data Science, and other departments and schools, fostering interdisciplinary research and teaching opportunities.
UVA’s Department of Statistics was established in 1989 and offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Ph.D. degrees. It currently has 21 research and teaching faculty.

The ideal candidate should have demonstrated potential to contribute to the department’s mission of offering creative and novel research, engaging in external funding, excelling in teaching and advising at all levels of students, providing service to the department, university and professional organizations, and exhibiting strong leadership in research and the profession.
