Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Bowling Green State University

Each year the department invites an outstanding senior researcher in probability or statistics to serve as the Eugene Lukacs Distinguished Visiting Professor during the academic year. The appointment is typically for one semester during the academic year (Fall or Spring), but the actual length of the visit is negotiable.

Qualifications include a PhD in mathematics or statistics, together with a distinguished record of research in the application or theory of probability or statistics. It is expected that the visitor will specialize in an area that is not represented in the department.

Duties include teaching a weekly graduate seminar, interacting with current faculty on research projects, and regular participation in departmental seminars and colloquia. Some past visitors have chosen to give a formal graduate course, while some have instead chosen to present a series of related seminars.

According to the current budget expectation, the next opening of the Lukacs Professor position will be in the 2010-2011 academic year. Interested parties should contact K. Chan, Chair, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403-0223.
