Statistical science at Exeter, a core component of the Department of Mathematics, is renowned for developing and applying methodological research to some of today’s most important societal challenges, including climate change, weather forecasting, air quality, global health, and the spread of infectious disease. The group is undergoing an exciting period of expansion; now comprising ten academic staff with two more lectureships to be appointed in the near future. In addition, in 2016 the recently established University of Exeter Data Science Institute recruited eight new academic staff across statistics and computer science.

The Department of Mathematics is committed to reducing gender inequality, as recognized by an Athena SWAN silver award in 2016, and strongly welcomes applications from groups under-represented in academic posts.
