About the Role This is an opportunity to join one of the world’s most prominent and most research-active Departments of Statistics as a Harrison Assistant Professor. This 3-year fixed-term position is part of a rolling programme of Harrison early-career posts. The appointment will carry a lower teaching load and is designed to allow the post-holder to develop their academic career and build a strong research track record. Previous holders of Harrison posts have typically progressed to permanent academic positions at top institutions, including Warwick.

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so. 

About You We are seeking applicants with evidence or promise of world-class research excellence in Statistics, to be interpreted in the widest sense and to include applied, computational, methodological and theoretical statistics, data science, machine learning, probability and mathematical finance together with interdisciplinary topics involving one or more of these areas.

For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.

About the Department The Department’s research spans a broad range of areas in statistics, data science, theoretical and applied probability, finance and interdisciplinary collaboration. Its teaching programmes attract exceptional students at all levels. It comprises around 800 undergraduate students on degree courses in MORSE, Mathematics and Statistics and Data Science and 150 postgraduate students on the MSc Statistics, MSc Mathematical Finance and PhD degree streams. Major strategic initiatives include the research centre CRiSM, which acts as a catalyst for research across the breadth of the Department, the Applied Statistics & Risk Unit (AS&RU), which promotes and coordinates external partnerships, and the national Academy for PhD Training in Statistics (APTS).

The Department has close relations with the co-located Mathematics Institute and Department of Computer Science and with other departments such as Economics and the Warwick Business School and is strongly engaged with the Alan Turing Institute in London. The newly established Warwick Centre for the Applications of the Mathematical and Computing Sciences (CAMaCS) is a joint initiative with Mathematics and Computer Science designed to link Warwick’s world-leading research in the departments with external partners and bring benefits to society through impact.

The Department of Statistics is committed to promoting equality and diversity, holding an Athena SWAN Silver award which demonstrates this commitment. We welcome applicants from all sections of the community and will give due consideration to applicants seeking flexible working patterns, and to those who have taken a career break.
