Stein Fellow in Statistics

The Stanford University Statistics Department has an opening for a Stein Fellow, starting in September 2012.

The Stein Fellowship is for two years with a possible extension to three years. A doctorate in statistics or a related field is required.

The Stein Fellowship is designed to be a career building step for new scholars. Our intention is to develop the next generation of leaders in statistics and related disciplines by offering a unique opportunity for the best young scholars to develop their expertise in both teaching and research.

Applicants should have demonstrated strong research abilities. Opportunities will be offered for the fellow to participate in some of the department’s on-going research projects on statistical theory & methods as well as their applications to diverse subject areas.

The Stein Fellow will have a light teaching load to allow ample time for research. Two one quarter courses will be taught in each of the first and third academic years. The second year responsibilities will also include a third course on an advanced topic.

Salary will be competitive.

Applicants are requested to send a letter of application, curriculum vita, graduate transcripts, and at most one reprint/preprint to:
