About this position

The Department of Statistics and Data Sciences (SDS) at The University of Texas at Austin invites applications for the Director of the MS Program in Statistics, with appointment at the rank of Associate or Full Professor of Instruction. SDS is looking forward to an expansion of its MS program through an integrated 4+1 BS/MS sequence for our rapidly growing Statistics and Data Science major. The Director of the MS Program will help lead this initiative alongside the chair of the department, shaping curriculum, advising, admissions, and the long-term academic vision of the program, while also teaching classes at the undergraduate and MS level. The anticipated start date for the position is either January 1, 2027 or August 16, 2027. SDS is the newest and fastest-growing department in the College of Natural Sciences and will, in August 2026, join UT’s new School of Computing, a major university initiative to boost investment in computer, data, and information sciences. Our programs include an undergraduate major and minor in Statistics and Data Science, an M.S. and Ph.D. in Statistics, and an online M.S. in Data Science. The department is internationally recognized for excellence in both research and education, with 25 tenured/tenure-track and 10 professional-track faculty. While Professors of Instruction are professional-track faculty and ineligible for tenure, we hire with the hope that all new faculty will build lasting careers as part of our community. The department is committed to investing in the professional growth of all faculty. More information about the department is available here .
