University Professorship (W3) “Mathematical Statistics" (m/w/d)
You are developing an innovative research program in mathematical statistics that complements KIT’s existing research priorities and provides new impetus, preferably in the areas of statistical methods for high-dimensional and/or large-scale data, mathematical and statistical foundations of machine learning, statistics of stochastic processes and dependent data, or statistics of complex networks. You make substantial contributions to the research focus Stochastic Models of the KIT Department of Mathematics and build bridges between mathematical theory and applications, for instance by contributing to the KIT-center MathSEE. You actively contribute to the teaching of stochastic contents in the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs in Mathematics, with particular responsibility for Mathematical Statistics and teaching activities in the area of probability theory and statistics for other departments. You represent the Institute of Stochastics as a member of the collegial institute board and take on responsibilities in academic self-governance.
You have an internationally distinguished research profile in Mathematical Statistics, documented by a substantial record of publications in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals and further academic achievements (Habilitation or equivalent qualification). You have a proven record in applications for competitive third-party funding and are willing to assume a leading role in future collaborative research consortia. You have sound experience in university-level teaching as well as in supervising students and early-career researchers. Prospectively, the position includes teaching in German within the Bachelor’s program. You can demonstrate successful experience in interdisciplinary collaboration and research projects. Employment is subject to Art. 14, par. (2) of the KIT Act in conjunction with Art. 47 LHG Baden-Württemberg (Act of Baden-Württemberg on Universities and Colleges).
