Toronto. The University of Toronto is the leading research-intensive 
university in Canada and offers a range of support to early career 
faculty. It is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, a vibrant city of 
over 2 million inhabitants.

The Department of Statistics has an outstanding complement of 22 faculty 
members and is one of six institutional sponsors of the National Institute 
for Complex Data Structures - an organization that builds 
interdisciplinary research teams with statistical leadership. It is also 
involved with the Fields Institute for Mathematical Sciences and has a 
close relationship with Biostatistics in the School of Public Health on 
campus. We offer courses in actuarial science, probability theory, applied 
statistics, statistical computation and theoretical statistics at both the 
undergraduate and graduate level. The department serves as a focal point 
for statistical teaching, research and consulting at the university.
