Laura Chihara of our department (Math/CS) let us know of the possibility of
posting an ad with your S-PLUS newsgroup. Here's the ad (text only, Word
v.5, filtered through Eudora)--it's up to you. Many thanks!

*Carleton College*
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science has a tenure-track
position, with emphasis on teaching of statistics, to begin September,
2001. This is an entry-level position, although in special circumstances
appointment at a higher level will be considered. A Ph.D. in statistics,
mathematics, or a related field is required, and evidence of teaching
excellence is essential.
Ordinarily, Carleton faculty teach two courses per term, three terms per
nine-month year. We expect that the successful candidate would teach four
or more statistics courses a year; if desired, the balance of the teaching
load can be elsewhere in the department. Research and other scholarly
activities are encouraged and supported. Carleton is engaged in efforts to
attract, retain, and nurture underrepresented groups in mathematics and the
sciences; we welcome candidates with an interest in these efforts.
A letter of application, graduate transcript, resume, a concise statement
about working in an undergraduate liberal arts environment, and three
letters of recommendation should be sent to Tenure-Track Search Committee,
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, One North College Street,
Northfield, MN 55057-4025 (paper copies preferred; e-mail:
ttsearch01@mathcs.carleton.edu; fax: (507)646-4312). At least one letter
should specifically address teaching experience, and (for applicants whose
research background is outside statistics) at least one letter should
address statistical experience. Carleton is an AA/EO employer; women and
members of other underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to
apply. Review of applications will begin by January 1 and continue until
the position is filled.
Carleton is a highly selective liberal arts college 35 miles south of
Minneapolis/St. Paul. The department has 12 full-time members and a
full-time computer technician; it is located in a modern building with
excellent facilities for learning and teaching. Departmental computing
resources include four teaching laboratories equipped with Pentium II and
III PC's and SGI graphics workstations; operating systems include Linux,
Windows, and Irix, and statistical packages used in undergraduate courses
include SPSS and S-PLUS. For more information on the department, visit our
