Faculty Position in Statistics

The School of Basic Sciences at EPFL is conducting an open-rank search for a Professor in Statistics. Appointment can be at the Tenure Track, Associate or Full Professor levels, depending on the qualifications of the successful applicant. We seek outstanding candidates with research interests in any domain of core statistical inference, including methodology, theory or applications. Indicative areas include, but are not restricted to, computationally intensive inference, large-scale and/or high-dimensional inference, and penalised and/or nonparametric inference.

As a technical university covering essentially the entire palette of engineering and science, EPFL offers a fertile environment for multi-disciplinary research collaborations. Mathematics and Statistics at EPFL benefit from the presence of the Bernoulli Centre for Fundamental Studies on the EPFL campus, and boast a world-class faculty and outstanding facilities.





Requirements

At the tenured level, we expect world-leading profiles in their respective fields. At the Tenure Track level, we expect candidates showing exceptional promise to develop into world leaders. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of a candidate’s work rather than to any particular area of specialization.

Candidates should hold a PhD and have an outstanding record of scientific accomplishments in the field, commensurate with the rank to which they are applying. Commitment to excellent teaching at the undergraduate, master and doctoral levels is also expected. The successful candidate is expected to play an important role in the EPFL’s new MSc in Statistics .

We offer

EPFL, with its main campus located in Lausanne, Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva, is a highly-international, dynamically growing and well-funded institution fostering excellence and diversity. The EPFL environment is multi-lingual and multi-cultural.

Contact and Address

Applications should include a cover letter, a CV with a list of publications, a concise statement of research (maximum three pages) and teaching interests (one page), and the names and addresses (including e-mail) of three to five (for the rank of Assistant Professor) or five to seven (for the rank of Associate or Full Professor) referees who have already agreed to supply a letter upon request.

Application deadline: 1st November 2024
