<h3>
UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY<br>
Assistant Professor - Biostatistics
</h3>
</center>
<p>The
<b> Department of Mathematics and Statistics,
</b> Faculty of Science, seeks
outstanding candidates for a tenure-track position at the
Assistant
Professor level in the area of Biostatistics.
</p>
<p>Qualifications include a Ph.D. in biostatistics or a closely
related field,
and a proven record of research excellence in biostatistical
analysis,
methodology, model development, and computation. A focus on the
statistical
analysis of data from human, animal, and health/biomedical
research and
clinical work is a priority. Post-doctoral experience is an asset.
</p>
<p>The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary and
inter-Faculty
team of statisticians, biologists, medical researchers and
veterinarian
medical researchers studying models and clinical realities of
human and
animal disease. Peer-reviewed external funding is normally
expected to be
sustained throughout the appointment, and industrial partnerships
are
strongly encouraged where appropriate. The position includes both
teaching
and research responsibilities, and will include expectations to
recruit and
supervise graduate students. Successful applicants will be
enthusiastic
about contributing to both teaching and research.
</p>
<p>This is an excellent opportunity to develop a vigorous and
independent
externally-funded research program within a dynamic and
collaborative
environment. A competitive salary and an attractive start-up
package are
available. The candidate will be expected to apply for extramural
support
from national/provincial agencies to sustain their research
program.
</p>
<p>The Department has an established expertise in statistical
research and is
enthusiastically developing links with the biomedical research
groups in
the Faculties of Science, Medicine, and Veterinarian Medicine at
the
University and the surrounding community. Increasing scholarly
capacity
will help the University of Calgary meet its strategic goal to
become one
of Canada's top five research universities by 2016, where
innovative
teaching and groundbreaking research go hand in hand, and where we
fully
engage the communities we both serve and lead. The strategy is
called Eyes
High, inspired by the university's Gaelic motto, which translates
as 'I
will lift up my eyes.'
</p>
<p>Calgary, Canada's fastest growing major city, offers a vibrant,
multicultural and family-oriented environment with a population of
more
than 1,000,000. Situated near the Rocky Mountains, Banff National
Park and
Lake Louise, Calgary offers great quality of life and outstanding
recreational activities.
