Yale-NUS
College is a highly selective liberal arts college in Singapore. Co-founded by Yale University and the National University
of Singapore, the College is committed to excellence in research and teaching
within a full residential programme that
integrates living and learning. Its curriculum educates students in Asian and
Western intellectual traditions as well as current scientific thought.
A student body of 1000 undergraduates from over 60 countries engages with
more than 100 outstanding faculty from around the world through small classes and hands-on research. Students and
faculty also have access to the wider resources of two world-leading research
universities.
The College invites applications for 2 open
rank tenure-track or tenured positions in Data Science. Preferred fields of
specialization are Bayesian Statistics, Computational Statistics, High
dimensional Data and Machine Learning. However, applicants working in other areas
are welcome to apply.
Applicants
should have a relevant PhD and demonstrate an outstanding track record for
their career stage. Research achievements should include publications in
leading peer-reviewed journals or conferences commensurate with career stage
as well as a demonstrated potential to secure research funding. A clear ability and passion for undergraduate
education is essential. The incoming faculty member would join a committed
team dedicated to the development and teaching of the Mathematical,
Computational and Statistical Sciences Major (see https://mcs.yale-nus.edu.sg/) and
Yale-NUS’s flagship Common Curriculum (see http://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/curriculum/common-curriculum).
The appointee will be expected to begin duties
in time for the 2021-2022 academic year, which begins in August 2021.
Faculty
receive salaries that are on par with the most prestigious liberal arts
colleges in the world, a substantial start-up grant as well as a yearly
travel and research allowance, and are able to access additional funding from
Yale-NUS, National University of Singapore, and Singapore’s Ministry of
Education. Faculty are entitled to a 5-month sabbatical for every three years
spent in the College. Some existing
Faculty have joint appointments with relevant NUS Departments, and this can
be explored for new hires on a case-by-case basis. Most faculty qualify for highly subsidized
faculty housing, either on campus or a short walk away. Yale-NUS College is
located in Singapore, a multicultural city of six million that is known for
its high quality of life and sits at the heart of a vibrant region.
