The Department of Statistics at Iowa State University is seeking candidates for a tenure track position at the level of Assistant Professor.
Successful candidates will contribute to the research and outreach missions of the Center for Statistics and Applications in Forensic Evidence (CSAFE). Coordinated by Iowa State University and funded by NIST, the CSAFE team of statisticians and scientists create solutions that quantify the uncertainty, limitations and errors associated with human factors; pattern evidence, such as fingerprints and bullet marks; and digital evidence, such as data from cellphones and computers. In order for forensic scientists, forensic practitioners, law enforcement officers, lawyers, judges and more to apply these methods, CSAFE also provides training and education modules.
Successful candidates will teach undergraduate and graduate level courses, advise graduate students, provide professional and institutional service, develop and sustain a high-impact research program that can successfully compete for external funding, and participate in collaborative research with researchers in other disciplines. Candidates with basic and/or collaborative research experience or potential in statistics research related to the forensic sciences are particularly encouraged to apply.
