Teaching Assistant Professor Positions in Statistics...
The Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University invites
applications for TWO non-tenure track positions at the Assistant
Professor level starting August 2003. These positions are ideal for
candidates with strong interest in teaching and developing pedagogical
methods who seek the environment of a Research I university. The
primary responsibility of each position is to teach three or four
courses a semester. Our course offerings are very broad and include
undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics, biomathematics, and
bioinformatics, as well as service courses for students from agriculture
and life sciences, engineering, textiles, physical and mathematical
sciences, social sciences, and other programs on campus.
Service to the profession and to the department, especially in the area
of statistics education, is encouraged. Possible areas of activity
include, but are not limited to, developing teaching materials, carrying
out research on pedagogical methods, coordinating multi-section courses,
preparing and mentoring teaching assistants, outreach to K-12 students
and teachers, and mentoring students participating in undergraduate
research experiences. The nominal teaching load is four courses a
semester, but a typical load would be three courses plus responsibility
in one of the above-listed areas. For example, a current Assistant
Professor in this type of position teaches three courses per semester
and supervises a group of graduate student instructors. The initial
appointment is for five years. Based on performance, the positions are
renewable, and promotions in rank are possible. The department is
committed to fostering long term positions for faculty whose emphasis is
on teaching.
The Department of Statistics is one of the nation's oldest and largest
statistics departments and is known for its blend of research in
statistical theory and applications. The Journal of Statistics
Education was founded in the department. Many of its faculty belong to
the NCSU Academy of Outstanding Teachers. The Department's location in
the Research Triangle provides rich opportunities for interactions with
industry, other universities and colleges, and government agencies.
