We are interested in recruiting candidates with expertise in statistics/quantitative research methods and are open to any area of research, but are particularly interested in applicants whose research maps well onto existing specialization areas in our department/school. The ideal applicant will demonstrate a strong record of statistical training and expertise, including training in advanced statistical topics. They will also have the capacity to teach both basic and advanced statistics courses at the graduate level, provide statistical consultation to faculty and graduate students, run analyses for manuscripts, and serve as the statistician on grants.

While the position is primarily focused on statistical consultation, applicants would also have the opportunity to build their own research program and mentor doctoral students to the extent that their other duties allow. Though the appointment will be in the Department of Psychology, due to our partnerships across several health specialties on campus, we also offer the opportunity for applicants to develop a multidisciplinary research program. Therefore, applicants must also have the background/training, skills, experiences, and willingness to collaborate as a methods/statistics mentor for faculty and students from other behavioral health backgrounds. Specifically, the candidate would have the opportunity to work on projects across the three departments of the School of Behavioral Health: Department of Psychology, Department of Social Work, and Department of Counseling and Family Sciences.

Applicants should include a cover letter, vita, and two publication samples along with application. A request for three letters of recommendation may be made by the committee following an initial screening of applications.
