I’m writing because I’m helping start a Data Science department here.

Briefly, here’s the postings: we’re looking for a department head:

and two assistant professors:

We’re new and so we’re still small (3.5 people) but have a very strong and fast-growing major, and a commitment to hire more people in upcoming years. We’re filling a big gap on campus – UO has no stats department – and who we’re really looking for are people who (like us!) work with/on data, are excited about data science education and interdisciplinary quantitative research, and are enthusiastic about building a new department with a strong focus on equity and justice. There’s more info in the job ads -and, please ping me with questions or recommendations!

Thanks,

  Peter Ralph

p.s. The deadline for the “head” position is Oct 15, but it will be a rolling deadline – interested people who won’t make that date should let me know.
