Over the last year, Yahoo! Research has established itself as a premier research organization for one of the world's most prominent Internet companies.

The statistical problems that arise in the context of internet advertising and search provide unique opportunities for conducting novel statistical research that can potentially lead to the creation of new disciplines both in theoretical and applied statistics.

We are looking for bright statisticians at all levels (mid career, senior level, fresh PhDs) with strong backgrounds in theoretical statistics and passionate about working on applied problems involving massive amounts of data.

Skills/Qualifications

Applicants must have a PhD in Statistics and be able to make major, widely-recognized contributions to statistics research in the areas of theory, methods, computing, and data analysis while at the same time have a profound impact on Yahoo! technology working closely with people in business.
