The Department is seeking an outstanding candidate with a PhD in an area 
of the mathematical or statistical sciences, and with research and 
teaching interests in Actuarial Science or a closely related area in 
Statistics.

Duties include undergraduate and graduate teaching in actuarial science 
and statistics, and the development of an independent research program.

This position is in support of actuarial science instruction and research,

of Actuaries or Casualty Actuarial Society. The ideal candidate will also

encourages diversity.

The actuarial science program at the University of Calgary is one of the 
largest in Western Canada. Within the department, actuarial researchers 
have opportunities for collaboration with fellow researchers in actuarial 
science, statistics, and mathematical finance, and with researchers in 
finance, insurance, and risk management in the Haskayne School of 
Business.

The closing date is December 8, 2008, but applications will be accepted 
until the position has been filled.
