*Research Professor at Survey Research Center, University of Michigan*

The Survey Research Center in the Institute for Social Research at the
University of Michigan has conducted investigator initiated, survey-based
research on theoretical and applied problems of both social and scientific
importance for almost 70 years (please see our website:
http://www.src.isr.umich.edu).  It has over 250 research and support staff
and research volumes of about $70 million per year.

The center is the site of a large group of PhD level survey methodologists
that includes Fred Conrad, Mick Couper, Michael Elliott, Steve Heeringa,
Sunghee Lee, James Lepkowski, Roderick Little, Trivellore Raghunathan,
Richard Valliant, James Wagner, Zeina Mneimneh, Andy Peytchev, and Brady
West.  Together they form the Survey Methodology Research Program, pursuing
cutting-edge statistical and methodological research with
investigator-initiated research grants. The center also contains the Survey
Research Operations unit, which has over 150 technical staff working on
applied design and implementation of large complex sample surveys with
advanced data collection technologies.  These include large scale ongoing
longitudinal surveys, one-time complex mixed mode designs (face-to-face,
web, mail, telephone, bodily fluid samples, administrative records), and
development of large scale survey software capabilities.

The center invites applications from and nominations of outstanding
candidates for positions in the Research Professor ranks.  Appointments at
the Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, or Research
Professor level with ISR tenure are possible, depending on level of
experience and qualifications.  Suitable candidates will pursue their own
research interests through external funding and collaborate with other
scientists in ongoing research programs at the University of Michigan and
beyond. It is anticipated that the candidate will also teach courses and
mentor students in Michigan Program in Survey Methodology at the University
of Michigan and the Joint Program in Survey Methodology (University of
Michigan, University of Maryland, and Westat).

The successful candidate is expected to demonstrate knowledge and interest
in sample design and missing data issues, variance estimation, statistical
models of measurement error, adaptive designs, and analysis of data from
complex designs. Candidates with interest in machine learning, data
visualization, human/computer interaction, disclosure risk, or related
topics are also encouraged to apply. We are interested in researchers who
would thrive in our entrepreneurial, interdisciplinary, collegial, yet
highly independent culture.

*Requirements:*  Applicants must have a doctoral degree in statistics,
biostatistics or survey methodology with a concentration in statistics or
advanced quantitative methods in the social sciences or data science.
Applicants may initiate the process by submitting a letter describing their
scholarly activities, funded research program and plans, and interest in
SRC.  Please include a CV, names (not letters) of references, and one or
two recent publications.  Start dates are flexible.  Salary is highly
competitive.

Please send applications, nominations and inquiries electronically to
