We wish to make a senior appointment in Business Analytics. You will have expertise in a range of areas connected with Business Analytics that includes statistical analysis and computing. You will work with research groups within the Department to strengthen the Department’s engagement with the developing field of Business Analytics (particularly the Forecasting Centre).

Potential research interests may include:

A key quality in the successful candidate would be the ability to envision how new technology and the methods associated with large dynamic data bases can be harnessed in the solution of organizational problems. You will also help to shape the new undergraduate programme in Business Analytics and Consultancy, contribute to the Masters programme in Management Science and Marketing Analytics and engage with the STOR-i Centre for Doctoral Training. A successful candidate will take on a leadership role in the Lancaster Centre for Forecasting, expanding and promoting its research impact agenda.
