CMDA, a multi-department effort including not just
Statistics but also the
Departments of Mathematics and of Computer Science,
represents an entirely new approach to training
quantitative scientists, one that develops foundations
for, knowledge of, and skills in computationally
intensive techniques for modeling and inference. This
is a rare opportunity to help develop and grow a
truly innovative approach to education and research.
Applications from researchers whose work and
goals straddle traditional academic boundaries are
especially encouraged.
