– Mathematical finance and time-series analysis
– Statistical computing and graphics

Applications should be submitted via our online application system, for which a link can be found on our department website. We will begin reviewing applications after December 31, 2010. Interested candidates should submit the following materials: cover letter, curriculum vitae, research statement, selected publications, and three letters of recommendation. Applicants must have a Ph.D. (expected completion by June 30, 2011 is acceptable) from an accredited institution.
