The Department of Statistics in the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University invites applications for an Open Rank Faculty/Data Analytics Academic Program Specialist position to begin as early as January 2018.
The focus of this non-tenure-track faculty position is the enhancement of student learning in the university’s undergraduate Data Analytics major (http://data-analytics.osu.edu) through teaching and academic program support and development. We seek individuals who are committed to excellence in undergraduate teaching and education and have interests and expertise in areas of statistics related to data analytics.
This faculty position—which has been designed to allow a motivated individual to impact undergraduate education both inside and outside of the classroom—is a hybrid position that consists of a 45% appointment as a non-tenure-track faculty member and a 55% appointment as a data analytics academic program specialist. The faculty portion of the appointment entails teaching three to four undergraduate statistics courses per year (nine contact credit hours). The academic program specialist portion of the appointment entails, in conjunction with other statistics faculty, coordination and development of the major program.
For appointment at the associate or full level, applicants should have demonstrated ability for leadership in the practice of data analytics and in statistical pedagogy and academic program development at the undergraduate level. For appointment at the assistant level, applicants should have evidence of excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level and expertise in modern data analytic methods.
Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in Statistics (or related area) before starting in the position, and to present evidence of excellence in teaching and of expertise in statistical methodology related to data analytics.
