This is a fixed three-year post, but our group and PhD numbers are growing
and we are hopeful that the position will become permanent for a good
appointment. We are particularly interested in strong young researchers who
can add to our strengths in Bayesian/applied statistics. Start date is
reasonably flexible: we are prepared to wait for a good candidate.

Details:
Durham University is one of the UK's leading research-led universities, with
a strong commitment to both teaching and research. The Department of
Mathematical Sciences is a large Department, with an active programme of
internationally recognised research in a broad range of areas, and several
popular degree programmes with a very high quality student intake. The
Department has 65 academic staff, conducting internationally excellent
research in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and
Statistics/Probability/OR. There is a strong and active research
environment, with many visitors, seminars, international conferences and
workshops, and the Department benefits from excellent and fully supported
computer and library facilities. The Statistics Group has 13 academic staff
and 21 postgraduate students. Areas of particular research interest include
Bayesian Statistics (with specific expertise in Bayes Linear Methods),
Applied Statistics (with specific attention to large-scale applications),
and Foundations of Statistics and Decision Theory (with specific attention
to generalised uncertainty quantification). These areas are combined in
ongoing research in large-scale applications, in particular in the area of
uncertainty in large-scale physical systems represented by computer models.
See http://www.dur.ac.uk/mathematical.sciences/stats/ for information about
the Statistics Group.
It is expected that the successful candidate will have demonstrated a
capacity for excellent research in Statistics. Preference may be given to
candidates who are interested to work in areas related to current activities
in the group. He or she will be expected to make a substantial commitment to
the research activities of the Statistics Group, and to undertake teaching
and administrative duties as assigned by the Board of Studies of
Mathematical Sciences
The post is subject to standard probationary terms. Further information will
be issued in the contract of employment.
