SAMSI University Fellowships for 2003-2004

The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) is soliciting applications from statistical and mathematical scientists for three SAMSI University Fellowships, to begin September, 2003, or January, 2004. Appointments are made jointly between SAMSI and one of its partner universities. Members of under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

SAMSI is a national institute formed by a partnership between the National Science Foundation and the consortium of Duke University, North Carolina State University (NCSU), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and the National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS). SAMSI is forging a new synthesis of the statistical sciences and the applied mathematical sciences with disciplinary science to confront the very hardest and most important data- and model-driven scientific challenges. With a directorate consisting of James Berger (Duke), H. T. Banks (NCSU), J. S. Marron (UNC), and Alan F. Karr (NISS), SAMSI is located at the NISS building in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina.

SAMSI programs for the year 2003-04 are:

SAMSI University Fellows will participate in one or more of these programs, in collaboration with statisticians, applied mathematicians and disciplinary scientists from universities, industry, national laboratories and government agencies. SAMSI University Fellows will also join the academic life at one of SAMSI’s partner universities, including teaching a seminar or course at the university or at SAMSI.

Appointments will ideally be for one year, although appointments for one semester can be considered. The available salary is at most a half year’s support for a senior researcher, and so is ideal for sabbatical visitors with partial support from their home institutions.

Interested individuals should contact univfellows@samsi.info for more information. Formal applications will require a letter of interest containing addresses (including E-mail), telephone numbers and a current CV. The items should be submitted electronically, as PDF files if possible (Microsoft Word and PostScript are also acceptable), and sent to univfellows@samsi.info. Those preferring to submit applications by mail can send them to SAMSI, P.O. Box 14006, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-4006. The deadline for full consideration is February 15, 2003. Later applications will be considered as resources permit. Appointments may be made at any time.

SAMSI is an AA/EEO Employer
