--------------------
You will have an excellent research record in an area of Statistics as
appropriate for the level for which you apply; preference may be given
to candidates whose research areas are compatible with existing
interests of the Statistics Group. You 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 Head of Department of Mathematical Sciences. For appointment as
Reader, candidates must have a substantial record of excellent
publications at internationally leading level, experience with
postgraduate supervision and substantial teaching experience at
University level, and a record of successful generation of external
funding for research projects is highly desirable. For appointment as
Lecturer at Grade 8 candidates need to provide evidence of relevant
teaching experience at University level and a significant record of
publications at international level.
Department of Mathematical Sciences:
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 currently has 54 members of 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 fully supported excellent computer and library facilities.
The Statistics Group currently has 10 academic staff, 5 Postdoctoral
researchers and 25 PhD students. Areas of particular research interest
include Bayesian Statistics (with specific expertise in Bayes Linear
Methods), Foundations of Statistics and Decision Theory (with specific
attention to generalized uncertainty quantification) and Applied
Statistics (with specific attention to large-scale applications). 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.
The post is subject to standard probationary terms. Further information
will be issued in the contract of employment.
