[John Brewster]

The Department of Statistics at the University of Manitoba invites  
applications for two tenure-track positions—one (#13846) at the rank  
of Assistant Professor and the other  (#13847) at the rank of  
Assistant or Associate Professor, commensurate with qualifications and  
experience.  The appointments will begin on July 1, 2012, or on a  
mutually agreed upon date.  Individuals with expertise in any area of  
statistics are encouraged to apply, although it would be an asset for  
a candidate to have research strengths in one or more areas identified  
in the Department’s strategic research plan.  These areas include  
biostatistics, computational statistics, environmental statistics,  
generalized linear models, spatial statistics, statistical image  
analysis and other areas that complement the existing research  
strengths of the Department. Candidates with strong records of  
collaboration with researchers in other disciplines are also  
encouraged to apply.  To be successful, a candidate must have a Ph.D.  
degree in statistics or a related discipline (or, for an Assistant  
Professor position, a Ph.D. degree to be completed by the starting  
date) and have a strong record or outstanding promise in both research  
and teaching.  Duties will include research, undergraduate and  
graduate teaching, student supervision, and service-related  
activities. An individual who is hired at the Associate Professor  
level will be expected to play a leadership role in research.
