Two Lectureships in Statistics
School of Mathematics & Statistics
Newcastle University, UK
Job Ref: D1474A
Deadline for applications: 22nd April 2014
The School of Mathematics & Statistics is seeking to appoint to two
lecturers in Statistics as part of a university strategic investment
in Statistics, Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and Pure
Mathematics. The School has recently been awarded, jointly with
Computing Science, a five year EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in
Cloud computing for Big Data.
We seek candidates who can demonstrate a commitment to excel in
research with a good quality publication record for the
discipline. Candidates must also be able to demonstrate excellence or
outstanding potential in teaching and supervision duties, as part of
undergraduate degree programmes in the areas of Statistics. A PhD
degree and in-depth subject knowledge/expertise in statistics is
essential.
A high level of analytical and problem-solving capability is also
essential, with excellent personal skills. You will need to be able to
demonstrate a passion for teaching and the ability and motivation to
seek out new research opportunities.
The Statistics Section has an international reputation for research in
Statistical Bioinformatics, Stochastic Systems Biology and
Biostatistics, particularly from a Bayesian perspective. We seek
candidates with research interests in any area of statistics and
applied probability, particularly those which align well with our
current strengths or complement these areas through, for example,
applications to Big Data or the methodological underpinning of
advanced Bayesian computation.
Potential applicants for these positions are invited to discuss the
posts informally with Professor Richard Boys either by email
([log in to unmask]) or by phone at +44 (0)191 208 7297.
The School is committed to the Athena SWAN Charter for women in science.
