Columbus, Ohio 43210-1361. The Ohio State University. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR [full-time, tenure-track faculty member]. Tenings appearing in JIG October 2004 [cf GIS-05, HUM-05 and PSE-05]. This opening is in the area of spatial analysis methods [SAM-05]. We wish to hear from individuals with exceptional research records and potential for integration to other thematic areas. These goals might be met through either strengthening intra-departmental linkages or through building connections to other departments.

In particular the Department of Geography seeks an individual with expertise in spatial statistics, exploratory spatial data analysis, and GIScience. Substantive interests in spatial data uncertainty, urban issues, or environmental science are desirable. With appropriate qualifications, this posting may result in a joint appointment in the Department of Geography [75%] and in the Department of Statistics [25%].

A Ph.D. in Geography or a closely related field is required at the time of appointment. Demonstrated excellence in teaching and research is required. A Masters degree (or equivalent) in Statistics is also desired and is required in the case of a joint appointment.

In the case of a joint appointment with statistics, research is expected to be in one of the areas of hierarchical or Bayesian spatial statistical modeling, spatial econometrics, geostatistics, and/or spatial pattern analysis. Participation in the Department of Statistics’ Program in Spatial Statistics and Environmental Sciences is expected.
