  I'm posting this for my friends at NISS.  Feel free to pass it
along to anybody you think might be interested.  Of course replies
should go to NISS, not me.  -Art Owen



                                 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS

                      NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STATISTICAL SCIENCES


           The  National  Institute   of   Statistical  Sciences  (NISS)  is
           accepting  applications  for  postdoctoral  positions  as  Junior
           Fellows.  Funding is anticipated to enable appointments beginning
           January 1, 1993, but actual starting dates are flexible.

           In accordance with  the  NISS  mission  to  stimulate and nurture
           collaboration  among  statisticians  and  other  scientists  from
           universities,  industry,  national  laboratories  and government,
           Junior  Fellows  will  participate  in  one  (or  more)  specific
           research projects, under  the  mentorship of senior statisticians
           and  scientists.    The  first  projects  will  be  in  areas  of
           environmental modeling and monitoring, toxicology, computer-aided
           drug  design  and  global  climate  modeling.  Project  areas  in
           development include materials science and large-scale educational
           studies.

           Criteria for  selection  include  demonstrated  research ability,
           interest and (to a  lesser  degree)  experience in project areas,
           interest  in  computation,   facility   in   verbal  and  written
           communication  and   genuine   commitment  to  cross-disciplinary
           research.

           Appointments will be for two years, with extensions possible. The
           initial salary is expected to be $40,000 per year.

           Applicants for positions starting in  1993 should have received a
           doctorate in 1987 or  later,  or  expect  one before the starting
           date of appointment.   Women  and  members of minority groups are
           particularly encouraged to apply.

           Applications should consist  of  a  letter of interest containing
           addresses (including e-mail), telephone numbers, and names of 3-4
           references; a one-page  biographical sketch including citizenship
           status; a publication record  or  thesis  topic with abstracts of
           the most important items;  and  a  one-page statement of interest
           responding to the criteria and projects listed above.  Use e-mail
           if possible but also send "hard-copy".
