The Stein Fellowship is designed to be a career building step for new scholars. Our intention is to develop the next generation of leaders in statistics and related disciplines by offering a unique opportunity for the best young scholars to develop their expertise in both teaching and research. Opportunities will be offered for the fellow to participate in some of the department's on-going research projects on statistical theory & methods as well as their applications to diverse subject areas. The Stein Fellow will have a light teaching load -- two one-quarter courses will be taught each academic year.

Applicants should have demonstrated strong research and teaching abilities. A Ph.D. in Statistics or a related area is required. Applicants should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, graduate transcripts, not more than one preprint/reprint, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted. Applications and letters should be submitted online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/19235. Questions may be submitted to search@stat.stanford.edu.

Evaluation of applicants will begin November 15, 2021. Applications must be received by December 10, 2021 to be guaranteed consideration.
