Three academic positions in data science at the University of Warwick connected with the Alan Turing Institute (all levels) Dept. of Statistics, Dept. of Computer Science and Dept. of Mathematics (possible joint appointments) Three enthusiastic individuals are sought to be part of the Warwick involvement in the newly created Alan Turing Institute (ATI), of which Warwick is a founding partner (with Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford and UCL). The creation of these posts reflects the strong commitment of the University of Warwick to invest in a coherent methodological approach to the fundamentals of data science and the challenges of complex data sets. These posts will be held in the Department of Statistics, the Department of Computer Science, and the Department of Mathematics, and are open at all academic levels (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor). You will have expertise regarding the current issues in data science and the drive to address them at a fundamental level while being part of a collaborative team from researchers across the mathematical sciences at Warwick and more widely within the ATI. You will help shape research and teaching leadership in this fast-developing discipline. Applicants for senior positions will have an excellent publication record and proven ability to secure research funding. This is an opportunity to join one or more (through a joint appointment) of the world’s most prominent and most research-active departments in the Mathematical Sciences and to be part of the very prestigious Alan Turing Institute (ATI). The ATI is the new national data science institute, headquartered at the British Library in London, with a mission to undertake world-leading data science research at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, statistics and systems engineering, and to act as a magnet for leaders in academia and industry from around the world to engage with the UK in data science and its applications. It is expected that post-holders will spend part of their time conducting research at the ATI and this will reduce their departmental teaching and administration duties. The university has also recently created the Warwick Data Science Institute (WDSI), which coordinates world-class research activities in data science, and is strongly connected to high-quality education in the broad area of data science, ranging from undergraduate to PhD level. Informal enquires can be addressed to any of Professors Mark Girolami ([log in to unmask]), Mark Steel ([log in to unmask]), Stephen Jarvis ([log in to unmask]) or Colin Sparrow ([log in to unmask]), or to any other senior member of the Warwick departments involved. Closing date: 25 March 2016. Applicants are asked to include a research statement which outlines how their research (past and future) fits with the ATI mission and research at Warwick. Applicants at Assistant and Associate levels should please ensure that their referees send a letter of reference by email to Ruth Cooper ([log in to unmask]) by the closing date.
