Job description

Mount Holyoke College invites applications for three 4-year Visiting Assistant Professors in Data Science to begin with teaching responsibilities in fall 2015.  We seek individuals who apply innovative computational techniques to a diverse array of datasets to reveal novel patterns and insights.  Such techniques may include advanced statistical analyses, mathematical models, machine learning, visualization, and other approaches.  

Successful candidates will be housed within the academic department most closely aligned with their research interests (e.g., Biology, Computer Science, Economics, History, Mathematics and Statistics, Politics, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology) and the three hires will create a cohort that will interact with and contribute to a growing interdisciplinary Data Science program at the College http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/faculty/curricular-initiatives/data-science.

Applicants are expected to have a doctorate.  The applicant should have a strong commitment to research and undergraduate teaching; a research program that can easily accommodate and encourage undergraduates is crucial.  The candidate is expected to teach three courses per year in his or her area of expertise at the College as well as one advanced course in the applicants’ area of expertise at the MassMutual Data Science Labs located in the Connecticut River Valley.

Mount Holyoke is an undergraduate liberal arts college for women with 2,200 students and 230 faculty.  Over half the faculty are women; one-fourth are persons of color.  Mount Holyoke College is located about 80 miles west of Boston in the Connecticut River valley, and is a member of the Five College Consortium consisting of Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts.  Mount Holyoke is committed to fostering multicultural diversity and awareness in its faculty, staff, and student body and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.  Women and persons of color are especially encouraged to apply.

Applications must be made on-line at https://jobs.mtholyoke.edu by submitting a CV and three statements concerning (1) teaching philosophy, (2) research plans, and (3) mentoring a diverse student body.  Applicants should also arrange to have three letters of reference submitted on their behalf.  We can access letters of recommendation on MathJobs.org if applicants indicate that preference in their cover letter.  Review of applications will begin on Monday, March 16 and continue until the positions are filled.  We recommend early submission because electronic prompts to referees will be generated automatically (and letters of reference accepted) only after the completed application has been submitted.  For more information, please contact [email protected].
