[cmath] Tenure-Track Position in Data Science - University of Guelph

[Alan Kelm]

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Guelph 
invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant 
Professor level in the areas of data science or analytics, 
spatial-temporal statistics, statistical/machine learning, multivariate 
statistics, or big data. The successful candidate will actively 
participate in the newly established University of Guelph Master of Data 
Science (MDS) program. The anticipated start date of the position is 
August 1, 2022.

The successful applicant should or will have a Ph.D. in mathematics, 
statistics, or a closely related area. They should have an established 
record of, or potential to develop, an independent program of research 
with global impact funded by Canadian and international agencies (e.g., 
NSERC, CIHR, NIH, SHHRC) leading to international recognition. This 
program will be in the area of mathematical and statistical approaches 
to data science and/or theoretical, methodological, or ethical 
foundations of data science. Applicants should have experience in the 
applications of data science and willingness to collaborate with 
researchers in other disciplines.

Applicants must have the inspiration and ability to teach and supervise 
undergraduate and graduate students. They will be expected to develop 
and offer graduate courses related to data science, to broadly 
contribute to the teaching mandate of the department at the 
undergraduate level including courses in both the Mathematical Sciences 
major and service courses, and to supervise students in graduate and 
undergraduate research.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is housed in the College of 
Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Guelph. We are an 
active and dynamic group of researchers and educators working in a wide 
range of fields in mathematics and statistics. We are proud to offer 
both undergraduate and graduate degree programs to help prepare students 
for careers in Mathematical Science. Our department is hosting the newly 
launched professional Master of Data Science program which, beyond 
standard data science skills, is dedicated to handling data in space and 
time, understanding data ethics throughout the data life cycle and 
developing strong communication skills for knowledge transfer/dissemination.
