The School of Mathematics is committed to significantly expand its research and education programmes in Statistics and Data Science. The School seeks to appoint five posts in Statistics or Data Science to assist with the delivery of our strategic goals in these areas. The appointments will normally be made at the rank of Assistant Professor, but exceptional candidates can also be considered for an Associate Professor post. The successful candidates will be expected to make significant contribution to these programmes, by conducting high-quality research in related areas and developing and delivering undergraduate and postgraduate education in Statistics or Data Science. In addition, the successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the school through management/leadership, and enterprise activities, as appropriate. The minimum qualification is a PhD (or equivalent) in Mathematics, Statistics or a related area. Candidates are expected to have or clearly be developing an internationally recognized research record, and a solid commitment to teaching, mentoring and service. We welcome applicants in any areas of Statistics and Data Science, in particular but not limited to Mathematical Statistics, Computational Statistics, Medical Statistics, Statistical and Machine Learning, Optimization and AI for Science (e.g., Scientific Machine Learning and Data-driven Modelling). Applicants for the Associate Professor posts are typically expected to have a track-record of successful external research funding. The School is a supportive and people-focused friendly environment, committed to equality, diversity and inclusivity, which aims to allow colleagues to develop as researchers and educators. We encourage applications from the widest community and provide equal opportunities in our recruitment processes. The School of Mathematics holds an Athena SWAN Bronze award, supports the London Mathematical Society Good Practice Scheme and is a member of the Piscopia. The University of Birmingham holds the Advance HE's Race Equality Charter Bronze award, a framework through which we are working to self-reflect, identify and remove barriers standing in the way of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic staff and students. The University of Birmingham is an equal opportunity and a Disability Confident employer.
