And finally, I have also been working on overparameterized learning with other collaborators, and for me, I am more interested in cross-validation for overaprameterized models, because ….

• Research: I expect to establish a strong research program of statistical methodology and application in the area of single-cell multiomics. I also hope to establish myself in the field of biological science by collaborating with biologists and medical researchers. I aim to secure funding from federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support my research program.

• Teaching and Mentorship: I expect to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment for students, fostering their interest in statistics and machine learning. I look forward to developing and teaching courses in statistics and machine learning, particularly in high-dimensional statistics and applied regression methods. I also hope to mentor students at all levels, guiding them through research projects and helping them develop essential skills for their academic and professional careers.

• Service: I expect to be actively involved in service within the department, contributing to committees and collaborative projects. I also hope to engage with the broader academic community through conference organization and journal reviewing.

• Professional Development and Collaboration: I look forward to collaborating with colleagues on research projects, sharing my expertise, and learning from others. I also hope to establish interdisciplinary collaboration with members outside the department, contributing to a diverse and vibrant academic environment.

• Start with some general points.
  • Establish myself in my field of science.
  • Emphasize mentoring.
  • Securing funding.
  • Establishing a productive international scientific network.
  • Impact on society.
• Specific points.
  • Do you know how to get to these goals? Are the goals realistic? What do you need?
  • Embed this in the long-term career goal.
  • Ideally, immediate goals, 5-year goals, and career goals.
  • Explain the importance of collaboration (with people in the department). Well, I can envision something like a research unit on this broader topic that would fit into my 5-year research goal. That is also going be interesting to other research members in your department. These members could be ....
• Example: My long-term goal is to achieve .... During my first 5 years here I want to make decisive progress towards the milestone of .... I can engageing collaborations with the other department members because they would help me ... and increase the scope in such and such a way to help me achieve part of these goals and this would also have the added benefit of adding this particular question/approach/theory of ... to the portfolio of the department. To achieve this I will need .... This is important because society really really needs answers to the question of ... and this is why I believe there is a really good chance to get this work funded by funding agency ....

While I haven't had the opportunity to teach a full course independently yet, I have gained valuable teaching experience through my roles as a teaching assistant at both Carnegie Mellon University during my PhD and at the University of Chicago during my Master's program.

For instance, I served as a TA for STAT 32940: Multivariate Data Analysis and Visualization at the University of Chicago. In this role, I supported students with diverse needs, particularly in interdisciplinary subjects like statistics. I also proposed new homework problems categorized into different levels of difficulty, which helped students progress through increasingly challenging material.

Additionally, I've been involved in mentoring junior students, guiding them through complex statistical concepts and methods. For example, I've helped students understand and apply clustering algorithms, guiding them in interpreting results meaningfully.

While these experiences aren't full course instruction, they've provided me with a strong foundation in teaching principles and practices. I'm eager to apply these skills and my teaching philosophy to develop and lead full courses in the future, particularly in areas such as high-dimensional statistics, overparameterized learning, generalized linear regression, modern methods in applied statistics, and statistical computing."

This response acknowledges your lack of full course teaching experience while emphasizing your relevant teaching and mentoring experiences. It also shows your enthusiasm and readiness to take on full course responsibilities in the future.

While I would love to teaching ..., I'm open to filling needs in the department as well.

Need to know more information about the offer, such as the salary range, benefits, and job responsibilities before making a final decision, but I'm certainly looking forward to the possibility of joining your department.
