Faculty Position
The Department of Statistics and Applied Probability,
National University of Singapore, invites applications for
regular positions in Financial Statistics, Risk Management
and related areas.
JOB QUALIFICATIONS:
Applications will be considered at all levels of
appointment. However, those with solid track records in
both research and teaching and proven leadership quality
are particularly encouraged to apply. A PhD in Statistics
or a related field is required.
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT:
The Department of Statistics and Applied Probability (DSAP)
has currently 30 full-time faculty members. It was
established in 1998 with the goals to advance statistical
science, and, ultimately by its application, to improve and
provide adequate services to our community. To achieve
these goals, the Department of Statistics and Applied
Probability offers training and research programs to
develop and apply innovative statistical methods to
problems of economics, finance, banking business,
insurance, marketing research, engineering, human health
and disease, including basic biomedical sciences.
In addition to offering a Bachelor of Science degree in
Statistics, DSAP also offers degrees at both Master's and
doctoral levels. These programs are appropriate for the
student who has a mathematical or statistics background.
The undergraduate curriculum offers students the most
needed probability and statistical knowledge; the graduate
program prepares them to conduct research and scientific
investigations in collaborative environments. The research
concentrations include both methodological and applied
areas. The methodological research areas include linear and
generalized linear models, longitudinal data and time
series models, categorical data models, nonparametric
methods, clustering analysis, classification and
regression based on recursive partitioning, functional
modeling involving high dimensional data structures, data
visualization techniques, survival analysis, stochastic
modeling, Bayesian methods, missing data, computationally
intensive statistical techniques such as the bootstrap,
empirical likelihood and Monte Carlo Markov Chain, spatial-
temporal models and bioinformatics. The current applied
research concentrations are in the areas of quality control
in engineering, marketing research, finance, economics,
survey methodology and statistical genetics.
