THE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS[1] AT THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE
UNIVERSITY[2] INVITES APPLICATIONS FOR ONE OPEN-RANK TENURE-TRACK POSITION
WITH AN EMPHASIS ON ASTROSTATISTICS, ALTHOUGH CANDIDATES IN OTHER AREAS
OF STATISTICS WILL BE CONSIDERED. The Department of Statistics has long
fostered interdisciplinary research at the interface of statistics,
astronomy and astrophysics, and the computational and data sciences. It
boasts one of the world’s leading research groups in the statistical
analysis of astronomical data, as evidenced by the Center
for Astrostatistics[3]. The Center for Astrostatistics has trained
generations of astronomers in the statistical analysis of astronomical data
by organizing annual summer schools and workshops.[4]  
  _Education and Experience: _
  Applicants at the Assistant Professor level should have a Ph.D. in
Statistics or closely related field and demonstrate potential for
excellence in research, teaching, and contributing to a positive and
inclusive climate. Applicants at the Associate or Full Professor level
should have a demonstrated record of excellence in research, as evidenced
by publication record and extramural funding; in teaching, of both
undergraduate and graduate courses; in service, to both their institutions
and the profession; and in contributing to a positive and inclusive
climate. 

  The Department of Statistics is part of the Eberly College of Science[5]
at Penn State, which accounts for over one hundred million dollars of
research expenditures annually. The Department of Statistics is a community
of around 25 tenure-line faculty members and around 50 faculty members in
total, with a strong commitment to fostering diversity, equality, and
inclusive excellence in a variety of research and teaching activities. Our
research activity is both theoretical and applied, with collaborative ties
to other departments in the College of Science (e.g., Biology and
Astronomy) as well as other colleges across the university (e.g., Earth and
Mineral Sciences, Engineering, Health and Human Development, and Medicine).
We have strong ties with several Penn State Institutes (e.g., the Huck
Institutes of Life Sciences, Penn State Institutes of Energy and the
Environment, and the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences) that
support and facilitate inter-disciplinary research. The University has also
launched a multi-college data sciences degree program supporting positions
in Statistics and other departments. 

  Penn State is located in the center of Pennsylvania, in a valley
surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains and state forestland. The adjoining
town of State College combines many amenities typically found in large
metropolitan areas with the benefits of a university town, boasting a
highly educated population and excellent schools and services. Additional
