We are currently advertising a 2-year lectureship in Statistics at 
University of Kent to provide cover for a member of staff who has a 
fellowship.

probabilistic modelling of financial data who can contribute to our 
teaching and research in financial statistics (including particularly 
supervision of projects for our MSc in Statistics with Finance).

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute strongly to both 
teaching and research within the Statistics Group. Teaching is likely to 
involve both the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The 
successful candidate will have an established track record in research, 
evidenced by publications in high quality statistical journals, and will 
be expected to further enhance the international research profile of the 
Statistics Group both individually and through interactions with other 
members of the Group.

The Statistics Group at Kent consists of 3 Professors, 1 Reader, 3 
Senior Lecturers 6 Lecturers, 1 Post-Doctoral Research Associate, 
supported by a Research Council grant, and 17 PhD students. Our research 
emphasis is broad, including Bayesian methodology, particularly Bayesian 
nonparametrics, high-dimensional problems, MCMC methods and Bayesian 
financial econometrics; statistical ecology; neuroimaging; shape 
statistics; nonparametric regression; and risk and queuing theory. The 
Statistics Group is part of the School of Mathematics, Statistics and 
Actuarial Science.
