Principal Researcher in Applied Statistical Methodology & Reader in
Statistics
Biomathematics & Statistics Scotland (BioSS) and the University of
Edinburgh (UoE) School of Mathematics seek an applied statistician with
a strong methodological background for a joint post (65% BioSS; 35% UoE)
to pursue a portfolio of statistical research motivated by
collaborations on emerging problems in biological, environmental,
agricultural and/or socio-economic science.
The post will be based in a stimulating working environment (located in
adjacent accommodation within the James Clerk Maxwell Building at the
King’s Buildings campus of the University of Edinburgh with a shared
common room and excellent facilities) with extensive opportunities to
develop collaborations with scientists in both the research institute
and university sectors.
In addition to the pursuit of independent statistical research across
the institutions, the successful applicant will lead the Statistical
Methodology research theme in BioSS, engage in knowledge transfer
activities including postgraduate supervision, and deliver and develop
teaching at all levels.
The post-holder will have separate, but mutually dependent, contracts
with each employing organisation.
As well as having a very strong statistical/mathematical background,
applicants should have:
* A research track record of international standing and impact,
including a substantial publication record, with evidence of
methodological development to solve important problems arising in
scientific research;
* Evidence of research leadership, including project initiation, a
track record in securing funding for research and achievement of
stated milestones and deliverables;
* Evidence of ability to plan, prepare and deliver excellent
University teaching at all levels, including through the supervision
of undergraduate and postgraduate students;
