Please compile these components into a single pdf file and upload with the application. Review of applications will begin on June 15, 2024, and will continue until the position is filled.

The Department of Statistics is a leading international centre for statistical science. Research faculty members excel in both theory and methods research as well as collaborative research with domain-area experts. The Department hosts growing undergraduate programs and a vibrant graduate program, with recent initiatives positioning the Department as a hub for innovation in statistics and data science education. In conjunction with the Department of Computer Science, the Department co-offers a Master of Data Science, and Major and Minor in Data Science programs.

UBC hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity. Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. Inclusion is built by individual and institutional responsibility through continuous engagement with diversity to inspire people, ideas, and actions for a better world. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Métis, Inuk, or Indigenous person. In assessing applications, UBC recognizes the legitimate impact that leaves (e.g., parental leave, leave due to illness) can have on a candidate's record of research achievement. These leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority, and members of historically marginalized groups will be given special consideration.
