JOBS: Lecturer/Senior Lect/Assoc Prof at Auckland New Zealand
(North American equivalents are Assistant, Associate and full Professor)
The University of Auckland's Department of Statistics is the largest and
most active in New Zealand and one of the most active in the southern
hemisphere. It has approximately 30 academic staff of whom 20 have
positions that include substantial research components. It teaches a full
range of programmes from Bachelors to PhD. The Department currently has
approximately 60 graduate students of whom 19 are PhD students. It also has
a substantial service role, has over 900 equivalent full-time students in
total, and is expanding.
The Department covers a wide range of areas of statistics but with
particular strengths in statistical computing (it is the birthplace of R),
statistical ecology, and biostatistics. It has strong Bayesian and applied
probability groups. It is an outward looking Department with strong
collaborative links with many other Departments and Research Institutes. It
is a partner in NZIMA, one of the first four Centres of Research Excellence
established in New Zealand. With Auckland being an easy stop-over point en
route to Australia and only 3 hours from Sydney, the Department attracts
many visitors.
Applications are invited from those with research interests in any branch
of Statistics broadly interpreted but applications from those specializing
in social statistics or sampling, applied probability, statistical
computing, bioinformatics, biostatistics, or areas related to business are
particularly welcome.
Appointments may be made at Postdoctoral Fellow, Lecturer, Senior Lecturer
or Associate-Professor level depending on the qualifications and experience
of the applicant. (The range of positions at which appointments can be made
is equivalent, in North American terms, to Postdoctoral Fellow, Assistant
Professor, Associate Professor and full Professor)
