MAJOR INIATIVE in STATISTICS
at MANCHESTER
In summer 2004 the Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST
will merge to form one of the largest Universities in the UK. The 2
Mathematics Departments will combine to form a School of
Mathematics, and the 2 Statistics groups will also combine.
The new University is launching a major iniative , which will have the
aim of creating a world-class grouop in Probability and Statistics. As
a first step, a chair in Probability and a chair in Statistics are currently
being advertised in the national press (closing date 27/2/04); each of
these chairs will be accompanied by a lectureship, and a further chair
and 2 further lectureships will follow over the next few years.
