About The Position
The Department of Biostatistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) is seeking to recruit one or two aspiring international scholars in statistical science for the Pranab K. Sen Distinguished Visiting Professorship in Biostatistics. The positions for periods up to five months are for fall or spring semesters beginning in January or August 2026. Preference will be given to applicants from low and middle income countries and to those who provide a plan of proposed research. The visiting faculty will come from an area of statistical science, broadly defined, including bioinformatics and data science, to UNC-CH to conduct research, possibly teach, and interact with faculty, students, and the university community. The major benefit will be an intensive interaction of the visitor's strong methodology background with applications to interdisciplinary research or teaching underway at UNC-CH. The visiting professorship, at the assistant, associate or full professor level, offers salary support commensurate with the rank. Financial support for other expenses is negotiable. Ideally, the visiting scholar will return to his or her home country for at least one year upon completing the appointment to further expand the reach of interdisciplinary work begun in Chapel Hill.
