                 LECTURESHIP IN STATISTICS (Ref: 1999/0479)


	Applications are invited for a post in Statistics at the Lecturer 
level, with a starting date of January, 2000.  Applicants may have research 
interests in any area of Applied Probability or Statistics and should have, 
or expect soon to obtain, a Ph.D.  A strong commitment to enhancing the 
research profile of the Statistics group within the School of Mathematics 
is essential.

FOR APPLICATION FORM PHONE 01222-874017 Quoting Ref: 479

POST

Applications are invited from active researchers for the post of Lecturer in 
Statistics.  The University has decided to strengthen the 
Statistics/Operational Research Division, within the School of 
Mathematics, following the departure of several members of staff who 
have gained promotion to posts at other Universities.  

Research

The research interests of the Statistics/Operational Research Division are 
both on the theoretical and applications sides of the subject area, and 
preference will be given to candidates who can complement or 
supplement the research effort in applied statistics.  The main interests of 
current statistics staff are in multivariate statistics, time series analysis, 
optimum experimental design and applications in medicine, biology, 
market research, and econometrics. Research facilities are excellent, with 
each member of staff being provided with a top-of-the-range PC, plus 
associated peripherals.  Access to relevant statistics packages is via a 
network with a central server.  There are a number of Ph.D. students in 
residence at present.

Teaching

The School offers 11 modules in Statistics at the undergraduate level, but 
no longer supports a postgraduate taught course.  The undergraduate 
modules are popular with students, and class sizes are often quite large (> 
50 students).  The complete list of Statistics modules is as follows:

Year 1                           Introduction to Probability
                                    Statistical Inference I

Year 2                           Elements of Probability and Statistics 
                                    (Double Module)

Year 3                          Statistical Inference III
                                    Advanced Regression Techniques
                                    Experimental Design 
                                    Medical Statistics
                                    Forecasting
                                    Sampling Theory
                                    Computational Statistics


Applicants should indicate which subject area they could contribute to 
immediately.

SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS

The School of Mathematics is situated in a modern Building, known as 
the Mathematics Institute, located in a central position within the 
University campus, yet within five minutes walking time of the main city 
shopping complex and Cardiff's magnificent Civic Centre.  





 
Staff  accommodation is good, with each member of staff being allocated their 
own room containing computing facilities.  The building houses the 
Mathematics Library, and a Senior Common Room for Mathematics staff 
and postgraduate students.  There are three computing laboratories 
available specifically for Mathematics students, together with a public 
computing laboratory, making a total of more than 50 Pentium PCs which 
are accessible to Mathematics students within the University.  In addition 
there are two staff computing laboratories, which contain more specialised 
equipment such as scanners, colour and laser printers etc.  The School 
has one of the largest intakes in the UK at the undergraduate level, with 
about 130 new students being admitted to single-honours mathematics 
degree schemes each year.  In addition, the School also participates in a 
number of joint honours degrees with other departments.

The School currently has nine professors, two readers, two senior 
lecturers, nine lecturers, one senior research associate, four research 
associates, five research fellows, and three part-time lecturing staff.
