Faculty Position, Computational Modeling and Data Analytics

Virginia Tech has a tenure-track opening in its Statistics Department 
(www.stat.vt.edu <http://www.stat.vt.edu>) to start Fall 2015 at our 
main Blacksburg, VA Campus. Appointment at the rank of assistant 
professor is preferred, but the associate level will be considered for 
exceptional candidates. Job requirements include a Ph.D. in statistics 
or a closely related field; a research focus in data analytics, machine 
learning, data mining, stochastic modeling/inference, interactive data 
visualization, or any related branch of computationally intensive 
statistical methods; and teaching experience.

This position is in support of our new Computational Modeling and Data 
Analytics (CMDA) program (www.science.vt.edu/ais/cmda 
<http://www.science.vt.edu/ais/cmda>). 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.

Questions regarding the position can be directed to Professor J. P. 
Morgan (jpmorgan@vt.edu <mailto:jpmorgan@vt.edu>). Applications must be 
submitted online at listings.jobs.vt.edu <http://listings.jobs.vt.edu> 
(posting #TR0140103) where full details may be found, and should include 
a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a research plan, a statement of 
teaching philosophy that describes an integrated vision for education, 
and contact information for at least three references. Review of 
applications will begin on November 15, 2014.

Virginia Tech is an EO/AA university, and offers a wide range of 
networking and development opportunities to women and minorities in 
science and engineering. Individuals with disabilities desiring 
accommodation in the application process should notify Ms. Mikhelle 
Taylor, College of Science, (540) 231-5422, or call TTY 1-800-828-1120.
