Subject: visiting asst prof or lecturer position in stats methods at princeton for next year
Hi, David -
We are trying to fill a position in social statistics in the
Princeton Sociology Department.
Right now, we are trying to make a 1-year appointment of someone who
could teach the undergraduate statistics course for our majors,
another undergrad course and a graduate course or mini-seminar. (The
ad for that follows.)
Next year we will do a full-scale search for a replacement for Scott
Lynch. That will be separate from the one-year appointment, of
course, but it will certainly not disadvantage a strong candidate
for that position to be in place.
If you have or know of any students who would be good, please urge
them to apply. Btw, for the one-year position and perhaps for the
long-term position, we are open to hiring someone someone with a
background in another field but strong substantive interests in
sociology and mastery of areas (in addition to regular statistics)
like machine learning or computational modeling that not all
sociologists possess.
All best,
Paul
