Assistant Professor Positions

The Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professors. We seek outstanding scholars whose research advances statistics and strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration in one of two strategic areas: climate and environmental statistics, including sustainability, or human health or health science, including biostatistics and bioinformatics. Candidates whose work also intersects with machine learning or artificial intelligence are especially encouraged to apply. The start date for both positions is August 2027.

The Department offers a vibrant environment for statistical research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and instruction. Successful candidates are expected to mentor graduate students in research and demonstrate excellence in teaching. The Department's location in the Research Triangle provides rich opportunities for interactions with industry; other universities, including Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and government agencies. Faculty enjoy collaborations with medical researchers at Duke, environmental scientists at the EPA research facility, and software developers at SAS Institute and JMP, among many others.

All applicants must have a Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics, Data Science, or a related field by the time of employment. Review of applications will begin November 1, 2026 and will continue until the positions are filled.
