Job Profile:

Assistant Professor

Job Summary:

The Department of Risk and Insurance at the Wisconsin School of Business invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning in Fall 2027. Current actuarial faculty conduct research broadly in insurance and risk analytics, or in the economics of financial and insurance risks. We seek scholars whose research will complement these areas and create synergies with the current faculty research agenda. We also seek candidates with strong technical expertise who are able to teach preliminary actuarial exam material of either the Society of Actuaries (SOA) or the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS). Professional actuarial credentials from either society are preferred. While not a requirement for the position, we also welcome applications from faculty who could connect with the Wisconsin RISE Initiative under the RISE-AI or RISE-Earth program -- description of these programs can be found here: https://rise.wisc.edu/

The Risk and Insurance Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison is one of the oldest such programs in the country, dating back to the 1930s. We offer undergraduate majors in Actuarial Science and Risk Management and Insurance, both of which are consistently ranked among the best programs in the world. We also offer a PhD program in Insurance Economics & Actuarial Analytics and a Capstone Certificate Program in Actuarial Science designed for post-undergraduate students.

Our faculty also teach and play important roles in the Wisconsin School of Business analytics programs, including the Master of Science in Business Analytics, the online Master of Science in Data, Insights, and Analytics, and the school’s Full-Time and Professional MBA programs.

The department is part of a major research university with extensive resources available to faculty and students. While our faculty are united by interests related to risk and insurance, they come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and maintain strong connections and collaborations across campus, including with faculty in economics, engineering, public policy, population health, computing & AI, and statistics.

Key Job Responsibilities:

  • Create and maintain a strong program of research.
  • Teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in Risk and Insurance or related field at the Wisconsin School of Business
  • Contribute to the intellectual and academic life of the department, school, and university, as appropriate. University and community service will be expected as appropriate

Wisconsin School of Business, Risk and Insurance

Compensation:

Negotiable.

The employee in this position can expect to receive generous benefits such as competitive insurances and savings accounts; retirement benefits.

  • Research underway that is likely to result in one or more publications in top-tier journals
  • Presentation skills that suggest future excellence in teaching

Ph.D. in actuarial science or a related quantitative field required by the start date.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
