Position SummaryRice University’s department of Statistics is dedicated to the advancement of the scientific discipline of statistics, the innovative application of statistics to meet modern scientific, engineering, and societal challenges, the expert education of students in statistics and other disciplines, and statistical leadership in the local, national, and international communities. Applications are currently being accepted to fill two full-time, 12-month postdoctoral fellow positions (with a maximum of two annual renewals given continued service) at the Department of Statistics in the School of Engineering, Rice University or at the Biostatistics Department at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Research work will be done on a general range of topics in biostatistics, bioinformatics and stochastic modeling of cancer. The proposed starting date is April 1, 2020. This is funded from an NIH-NCI T32 NCI Grant that requires US citizenship or US residency. The postdoctoral fellows will be mentored by qualified faculty members at Rice University or MD Anderson Cancer Center with possible co-mentorship from other institutions of the Texas Medical Center. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. We seek greater representation of women, minorities, people with disabilities, and veterans in disciplines in which they have historically been underrepresented; to attract international students from a wider range of countries and backgrounds; to accelerate progress in building a faculty and staff who are diverse in background and thought; and we support an inclusive environment that fosters interaction and understanding within our diverse community. The George R. Brown School of Engineering ranks among the top 20 of undergraduate engineering programs (US News & World Report) and is strongly committed to nurturing the aspirations of faculty, staff and students in an inclusive environment. Rice University is an Equal Opportunity Employer with commitment to diversity at all levels and considers for employment qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national or ethnic origin, genetic information, disability, or protected veteran status.
