The Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) invites applications for a full-time associate professorship in statistics affiliated with the Department of Mathematical Sciences (IMF).

 

Information about the Department

 

The Department of Mathematical Sciences has 36 full professors, 12 associate professors and one senior lecturer. There are in addition 2 adjunct professors, 6 adjunct associate professors, about 20 postdoctoral fellows and about 65 doctoral students. There are 9 women in tenured positions. The department has five research groups: algebra, analysis, differential equations and numerical analysis, geometry and topology, and statistics.

 

The department has a wide range of teaching responsibilities. This includes all the basic education in mathematical sciences for engineering and natural science students, Bachelor's and Master's programs in Mathematical Sciences, and a special Master's program in Industrial Mathematics for engineering students. The department also plays a central role in a Master's program for the education of high school science teachers. The master programs enjoy ample recruitment of highly qualified candidates, and as a consequence, the same holds also for the PhD-program.

 

The department aims to sustain and strengthen the research activity within mathematical sciences, improve the teaching at all levels, and strengthen the capacity for supervising master- and PhD-students. The department is currently involved in several innovative teaching activities.

 

Field of research

 

The position will be associated with the statistics group at the Department of Mathematical Sciences. The current research in statistics includes computational statistics, biostatistics, industrial statistics, population biology, spatial statistics and theoretical statistics. A large part of the research is methodological and motivated by applications in other disciplines. In a recent evaluation by the Norwegian Research Council, the research of the statistics group obtained the highest mark - "Excellent/World leading".

 

The department is seeking candidates who carry out excellent research in statistics. Preference will be given to candidates who have a strong potential to strengthen the current research areas in statistics, or to serve as a bridge between the different research activities. In particular, the department wants to strengthen research in statistical learning/data science.

 

Responsibilities and duties

 

The associate professor is expected to contribute towards excellent research and research-based education in statistics, in cooperation with the existing staff.

The research activities of the department have a strong international profile and impact. The associate professor is therefore expected to initiate and take part in national and international research projects. Interdisciplinary collaboration and interaction with other departments at NTNU are stro
