Lecturer(s)/ Senior Lecturer(s) in Statistics
UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES
SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS
DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS
REF. 1855
The Department of Statistics plans to expand significantly and may be
offering more than one position at each level of Lecturer/Senior
Lecturer. There are currently 10 academic staff in the
Department. Professor Matt Wand will join the Department in January
2003. UNSW is one of Australia's leading universities and the School of
Mathematics is comprised of the Department of Applied Mathematics,
Department of Pure Mathematics and the Department of Statistics. The
School has an outstanding record in attracting external research support
and operates an extensive visitors program for research collaboration. It
has a strong commitment to excellence in the service teaching it provides
to over 4,000 students from a range of Faculties. There is a vigorous
graduate program. The School has state-of-the-art computing facilities,
both in-house and through strong links to regional and national
high-performance computing facilities. The Department conducts a wide
range of teaching, including specialist undergraduate and honours
statistics, a Masters degree by coursework, and PhD supervision. The
Department's contribution to service teaching is substantial and regarded
as centrally important to its mission. Current areas of research include
space-time modelling with applications to environmental, meteorological and
health risk assessment; semiparametric regression and non-parametric
methods; mixed models and latent variables models; Bayesian methods and
Markov chain Monte Carlo computational methods; time series analysis,
stochastic processes and stochastic differential equations; mathematical
and statistical modelling in financial applications; extreme value
methods. The Department is particularly interested in expanding its
research and teaching capacity in the areas of biostatistics,
bioinformatics, computational biology, analysis of functional magnetic
resonance image data, statistical modelling in finance, spatio-temporal
modelling and statistical computing, but will consider appointments in
other areas.
Essential criteria for both levels: research doctorate in statistical
science; an innovative research program; clear evidence of effective
teaching experience in statistics, including service teaching; excellent
oral and written communication skills; understanding of modern computing
practice in statistical teaching; ability to implement equity and diversity
policies and programs.
Additional essential criteria for Lecturer: success in conducting quality
research; capacity to develop a productive research program leading to
publications in internationally refereed journals.
Additional essential criteria for Senior Lecturer: proven research
achievement at the international level; significant publication record in
internationally refereed journals; evidence of capacity to supervise
research projects at honours and postgraduate levels.
Desirable criteria for both levels: success in obtaining research grants.
The salary range for Lecturer is A$55,079 - A$65,408 per year and the
salary range for Senior Lecturer is A$67,471 - A$77,800 per year depending
on qualifications and experience.
