We particularly seek candidates whose expertise includes statistical collaborations involving Ecology, Biology, or Natural Resources applications. Preference will be given to candidates equipped to teach courses within the departmental applied statistics curriculum at USU (see USU General Catalog at https://catalog.usu.edu/ and course listings for STAT), especially with ecology-related context and examples.
