The Department of Mathematics at Ruhr-University Bochum, invites applications for the position of a Professor (tenure) for Mathematical Statistics (Salary Scale W2) to start as soon as possible. The candidate is expected to establish a sustainable research program, make significant scholarly contributions to the subject of Mathematical Statistics, be an effective teacher and mentor of both undergraduate and graduate students, and engage in institutional and professional service. Teaching responsibilities will include service teaching duties of the Department of Mathematics. We are looking for a scientist with an internationally visible research profile that complements the existing research expertise of the department, of the interdisciplinary colla­borative research center SFB 823 "Statistical modeling of nonlinear dynamic processes" and of the Research Training Group 2131 "High-dimensional phenomena in probability - fluctuations and discontinuity". Positive evaluation as a junior professor or equivalent academic achievement (e.g. habilitation) and evidence of special aptitude are as much required as the willingness to participate in the self-governing bodies of the RUB. We expect:

• strong commitment to academic teaching at graduate and undergraduate level;
