University of Illinois at Chicago

Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science

Applications are invited for the following position, effective August 
16, 2020. Final authorization of the position is subject to the 
availability of funding.

*Research Assistant Professor in the Foundations of Data Science.* This 
is a non-tenure track position, normally renewable annually to a maximum 
of three years. This position has been established as part of 
interdisciplinary activities under UIC’s TRIPODS grant in the 
foundations of data science: https://tripods.uic.edu/. Faculty members 
involved with the grant span three departments:

- Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, https://mscs.uic.edu/

- Computer Science, https://cs.uic.edu/

- Electrical and Computer Engineering, https://ece.uic.edu/

This position carries a teaching responsibility of one course per year 
and the expectation that the incumbent play a significant role in 
research across the three departments involved. Applicants must show 
evidence of outstanding research in the foundations of data science 
within mathematics, theoretical computer science, probability, 
statistics, information theory, electrical engineering, or a related 
field. Applicants should expect to have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree by 
the start date.

While the position will be hosted in the Department of Mathematics, 
Statistics, and Computer Science, the incumbent may be mentored by 
faculty in any of the three departments and will be expected to interact 
with faculty, postdocs, and graduate students across the three departments.

Applicants should provide a vita, research statement, and at least three 
(3) letters of recommendation. Applications should be submitted through 
mathjobs.org at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/15259. No 
applications will be accepted by surface mail or e-mail. To ensure full 
consideration, application materials must be received by December 31, 
2019, but applications will be accepted through January 24, 2020.
