The University of Edinburgh has a series
of initiatives to integrate the physical

strong academic leadership ability to
establish strategic links between
mathematics and biology. The successful
candidate will occupy the Chair of
Staistics in the School of Mathematics
and will be formally associated with the
School of Biological Sciences.

You will have outstanding expertise in
the development and application of
statistics in post-genomic biology and
bioinformatics. You will provide the
intellectual leadership to create
innovative research links between
mathematics and the life sciences or to
forge wider interdisciplinary
collaborations. In doing so you will
