最近剛結束找學術工作之旅
發現PTT上似乎不多海外教職的經驗分享
在此拋磚引玉 希望能提供一些資訊給未來對學術工作有興趣的人
## Background:
2007-2011 B.S in Physics at NTU
2011-2012 當兵T____T
2012-2016 Ph.D in Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University
Advisors (有3位):
- Larry Wasserman (Statistics/Machine Learning)
- Christopher Genovese (Statistics)
- Shirley Ho (Physics/Astronomy)
## Research Area:
- Statistics: nonparametric statistics, empirical processes,
topological data analysis, applied statistics
- Machine Learning: cluster analysis, statistical learning theory
- Cosmology: large-scale structure, astrostatistics
## Publication:
- 3*統計期刊 (2*Annals of Statistics, 1*Electronic Journal of Statistics)
- 1*Machine Learning conference (1*NIPS)
- 3*天文期刊 (2*MNRAS, 1*ApJS)
- 其他8篇preprint/under review
ps. 統計的發表量都很少 許多頂尖學校只要1-3篇就可以畢業
## Interviews:
投25家 拿到13家on-site面試 都是Assistant Professor (tenure-track)
最後拿到4個offers
統計系:
Stanford, University of Washington, University of Michigan,
University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Cornell, UC-Davis, Ohio State,
Rice, UIUC, UT-Austin
商學院:
University of Chicago-Booth, USC-Marshall
## Final decision:
University of Washington
這間是我最想去的學校 研究領域全面 學術聲望好(Top 5統計系) 地點好
其他教授們也好相處 地靈人傑啊～
