Dear all, This is just my timely reminder - wearing my Head of School hat - that applications for the Chair of Applied Statistics at Reading close on Friday 20 February. It also allows me to say, with the initiatives happening within Reading, and the support I have been getting from the VC, that I believe that this is a real opportunity for someone further to enhance both their career and the School's reputation as a major world player in Applied Statistics. What I mean is that Statistics at Reading has three main strands: 1. fundamental methodological development - but typically driven by practical applications 2. collaborative research - where these applications are put to effective use for the advance of scientific research 3. outreach - where Reading is aware of the need to satisfy the industrial, commercial and governmental need both for professionally trained statisticians and also for effectively trained non-statisticians. We achieve this through a wide range of postgraduate and other CPD training activities, delivered in Reading and internationally. I am excited by the prospect for the future, and am looking for people with leadership skills to join my colleagues. Is this you?
