Company Information
The Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University was founded in 1941 by Gertrude M. Cox and is one of the oldest and largest statistics programs in the country. The primary function of the Department is to achieve outstanding research, teaching, mentoring, consulting and collaborations on campus and world-wide, within a cohesive department, where all students, faculty, and staff receive fair treatment. The Department has over 40 faculty members, most of whom are housed in SAS Hall on the University’s main campus, along with more than 260 undergraduate and 150 graduate students. We are the “birthplace” of SAS Institute, the world’s largest privately owned software company, and one which specializes in statistical applications. The Department maintains a close relationship with SAS and other industry partners through student programs and activities.
The Department has expertise in a number of research areas see (https://statistics.sciences.ncsu.edu/research/research-areas/) and strong ties with the Data Science Academy (https://datascienceacademy.ncsu.edu/) and the Genetics and Genomics Academy (https://gga.ncsu.edu/) at NC State. Our graduate program, which is the top producer of statistics PhDs, was recently ranked 11th in the nation and 28th in the world see (https://statistics.sciences.ncsu.edu/know-us/rankings-awards-stats/); we also have a thriving online master’s program with approximately 100 students. While working in this department, you will be expected to foster a supportive and welcoming environment.
