Lecturer/SL/Associate Professor in Statistical Science, University of Bristol (UK)

Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Statistical Science at University of Bristol

(closing date 25th September 2020)

The School of Mathematics is seeking to make an appointment in statistical science at the level of Lecturer (analogous to Assistant Professor), Senior Lecturer, or Associate Professor, depending on the experience of the successful candidate. We are looking for a world-class researcher who has demonstrated, or shown potential for, the highest achievements in any area of mainstream statistical science or cognate areas. The post-holder will join the School’s Institute of Statistical Science, and will be responsible for undertaking independent research and delivering excellent teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The School is one of the UK’s leading centres for mathematics (ranked 4th for research intensity and joint 5th for GPA in the national REF2014 assessment). Comprising over 140 academic, research and professional services staff, the School recently moved to its new home, the historic Grade II-listed Fry Building in the heart of the University precinct. Following a £33 million renovation, the Fry Building provides state-of-the-art facilities for mathematics teaching and research.

The School is host to COMPASS, a new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Computational Statistics, which will train 11+ PhD students per year across a broad range of statistical science. The School launched a new MSc in Cybersecurity in 2018, and will introduce a new BSc in Data Science in 2021.
