Faculty Position in the Department of Statistics, University of California, Irvine:
Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment (LPSOE)
The Department of Statistics at the University of California, Irvine seeks candidates for the position of Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment (Lecturer PSOE). Lecturer PSOE is a full-time faculty position designed for individuals who wish to focus their careers on teaching, professional activities, and University and public service. These individuals are not evaluated on their research, but rather on excellence in teaching and in professional activities related to statistics education. Lecturers PSOE are members of the University of California Academic Senate and have all the usual benefits of Senate membership, including eligibility for UCI’s attractive faculty housing programs, and excellent medical and retirement benefits. Like Assistant Professors, Lecturers PSOE are evaluated for reappointment and merit salary increases every two years and within eight years (or less) are evaluated for promotion to Lecturer with Security of Employment (Lecturer SOE), which has the permanence of a tenured position.
The Department of Statistics has a strongly interdisciplinary flavor, focused on developing methods to solve applied problems and advancing the statistical theory that underlies those methods. Undergraduate courses include non-calculus based statistics and biostatistics, and more advanced courses in probability, mathematical statistics, and statistical methodology. Graduate courses in statistical methodology are also offered for students from other disciplines. Responsibilities of the Lecturer position include teaching within this curriculum, training and oversight of graduate teaching assistants, and/or coordination of the undergraduate curriculum and minor in Statistics. Applicants are expected to hold a Ph.D. degree in Statistics, Biostatistics or a related field and provide evidence of teaching excellence.
