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?
