Description
The Williams College Department of Mathematics and Statistics invites applications for a tenure-track position in Statistics, beginning fall 2025, at the rank of assistant professor. The candidate should have a Ph.D. in Statistics or a closely related field by the time of appointment. We are seeking candidates who show evidence and/or promise of excellence in teaching students from diverse backgrounds and a strong research program that can engage undergraduate students. The candidate will join a vibrant group of statisticians with a wide range of interests. The department provides a rich and collegial setting for student education and faculty research. For more information on the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Statistics major, visit http://math.williams.edu/.

The teaching load is two courses per semester and a winter term course every other January. The candidate will be expected to teach introductory statistics, core courses for the statistics major, and electives in their area of expertise, advise student colloquia (our capstone experience for seniors), and mentor senior thesis students. The successful candidate will establish an independent research program that results in scholarly publications. Williams College provides broad support for faculty teaching and scholarship, including a shared computer cluster for parallel computation, a new teaching center, a grants office, an annual professional development fund, and several internal research funding opportunities. Assistant Professors are also eligible to participate in the college's comprehensive First Three professional development program (https://faculty-networks.williams.edu/first3/).
