This is a 1.5 year fixed-term post.  We are looking for an outstanding teacher 
in Statistics to join us in delivering our highly-rated programme of teaching at 
undergraduate and taught postgraduate level.  Although the position is for 1.5 
years in the first instance, there may be prospects for continuation beyond that 
period.

We welcome applications from candidates who hold, or will shortly hold, a PhD in 
Statistics or a closely-related discipline; have teaching experience at 
undergraduate level; have experience applying relevant analytical skills and 
teaching techniques to a wide range of learners; have good communication skills 
and share our desire to educate and inform students.  Experience in statistics 
module development and/or in problem-based learning methods will be an 
advantage, as will demonstrable ability to work in a team.

The post-holder will teach modules in statistics that may be at a range of 
levels from first year undergraduate to taught Masters level.  It is currently 
envisaged that these will be focussed on statistical modelling and computation, 
and hence particular experience in these areas is desirable.  They will also 
supervise final-year undergraduate and Masters dissertation projects; these 
latter projects take place over the summer.

This post will be based at one of the two buildings that house the School of 
Mathematics and Statistics, located close to one another on the North Haugh 
campus of the University.

For informal enquiries, we encourage those considering applying to contact the 
Head of School, Professor Mark Chaplain ([log in to unmask]) and/or Head 
of Statistics, Dr Janine Illian ([log in to unmask]) to discuss possibilities.
