[Forum SIS] Expression of interest in the area of Mathematical Statistics and Data Science

[Claudio Agostinelli]

Opening of a Faculty Position in the area of
Mathematical Statistics and Data Science
at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Trento

The Department of Mathematics of the University of Trento (henceforth
referred to as the Department) seeks a scientist working in the field
of Mathematical Statistics and Data Science to be appointed in a
tenure-track position.

The Department invites highly qualified scientists in the field of Data
Science to send an Expression of Interest (EOI) in view of the
activation of a tenure-track position.

The Department currently enrolls in the field of Probability and
Mathematical Statistics two Associate Professors and one Assistant
Professor, tenure track (ricercatore TD-B) and has a strong interest in
building up a larger research group in the area of Data Science.

Candidates with a strong research background in fields related to
Probability, Mathematical Statistics, Statistical Learning, Scientific
Computing and Mathematical Foundation of Data Science are strongly
encouraged to apply.

The Department seeks a scientist working on cutting edge research
topics, internationally recognized as part of a scientific network of
experts in her/his own field; successful experience in the supervision
of doctoral students and interdisciplinary collaborations are a plus.

The Department coordinates a Master's Program in Mathematics, with a
specific curriculum in Mathematics for Life and Data Sciences with an
average of 20 students per year. The Department is also involved in two
interdisciplinary Master's programs: (i) Quantitative and Computational
Biology and (ii) Data Science.

The PhD School in Mathematics enrolls in the average ten students per year.

The successful candidate is expected to be one of the reference Faculty
for the curriculum in Mathematics for Life and Data Sciences, and to
participate in teaching activities at all levels.

Moreover, candidates are expected to show a strong potential to apply to
competitive research grants in particular towards EU funding schemes.

APPLICATION

The deadline for these expressions of interest, to be sent to the Head
of the Department (current Head is professor A. Caranti) at
direttore.maths at unitn.it, is 31 March 2018.

At a later date, the Department will open a formal call, according to
