This Social-Justice Data-Science (SJDS) scholar position, which will be appointed in either the Mathematics or Statistics department, is based on a dual-mentor system whereby the scholar has a mentor in either Mathematics or Statistics and a second mentor who is a social-justice scholar from another campus unit (see https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__datatheory.ucla.edu_social-5Fjustice.html&d=DwIBAg&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=yQQsvTNAnbvDXGM4nDrXAje4pr0qHX2qIOcCQtJ5k3w&m=eKNYagrtbXIPjvmGrDcWX_9mKotUhXSRMZ3hepLtzN0&s=e7_WsTpAYBQUDDdc_RlPUxPA8CKhYvWriUI5ZyFWZs8&e= ). The SJDS scholar will address social-justice questions via empirical research or analysis, with a preference for the study of inequity and disparities in the Los Angeles region. This position is open to scholars from all disciplines (but who possess or will possess a Ph.D. that is grounded in data science by the time of appointment). Applicants should also show evidence of excellence in teaching and research. The expected teaching load for this position is four one-quarter courses per year. This is expected to include both mathematics and/or statistics courses from the existing curriculum and also courses related to SJDS and in the candidates field of expertise. -- ----- Mason and Mark ------------- Don't forget to label your axes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mason A.
