on statistical methods and applications. Areas of particular

and other areas under the broader umbrella of data science, but
candidates in all research areas are encouraged to apply.A
successful candidate will be responsible for developing their own
independent statistical methods research program, participating in
collaborative research with researchers across Health Sciences and
other areas of the University of Minnesota, and developing
externally funded grant applications. The successful candidate will
also participate in the Division's teaching program, through
classroom instruction and advising students at the graduate level,
and serve on various division and school level committees.We are
strongly committed to recruiting, mentoring, and retaining faculty

may not have had the same access to opportunities and may have
faced substantial barriers on their academic journey, and hence we
are committed to carrying out a holistic evaluation of all
applicants for the position. The salary range for these positions
will be very competitive, and the University of Minnesota offers
excellent fringe benefits.
