A brief description: The Department of Mathematics and Department of 
Statistics at the University of California, Los Angeles invite

in Social Justice and Data Science.

This Social-Justice Data-Science (SJDS) scholar position, which will be 
appointed in either the Mathematics or Statistics department, is based 
on a dual-mentor system whereby the scholar has a mentor in either 
Mathematics or Statistics and a second mentor who is a social-justice 
scholar from another campus unit (see 
https://datatheory.ucla.edu/social_justice.html). The SJDS scholar will 
address social-justice questions via empirical research or analysis, 
with a preference for the study of inequity and disparities in the Los 
Angeles region. This position is open to scholars from all disciplines 
(but who possess or will possess a Ph.D. that is grounded in data 
science by the time of appointment). Applicants should also show 
evidence of excellence in teaching and research.

The expected teaching load for this position is four one-quarter courses 
per year. This is expected to include both mathematics and/or statistics 
courses from the existing curriculum and also courses related to SJDS 
and in the candidates field of expertise.
