Position Description:

*** this position has been closed. ***

The University of Glasgow, established in 1451, is a member of the UK's Russell Group of leading universities. The University is committed to enhancing its position as one of the world's great broad-based research-intensive universities. It is the University of Glasgow’s mission to foster an inclusive climate, which ensures equality in our working, learning, research and teaching environment. We strongly endorse the principles of Athena SWAN, including a supportive and flexible working environment, with commitment from all levels of the organisation in promoting gender equality. The University of Glasgow invites applications for a three-year Mitchell Fellowship in the School of Mathematics and Statistics. The candidate will undertake independent research in a field of Statistics & Data Analytics (broadly construed), that complements or reinforces the existing research strengths within the School. While primarily a research position, the fellowship will carry a light teaching load, which will normally mean lecturing one 20-credit course, or two 10-credit courses, with associated tutorials, each academic year. This will typically translate into approximately 4 contact hours per week in each of two 11-week semesters per year, the distribution of which may be flexible. Research fellows will also have the opportunity to supervise Honours and/or Masters Projects in their area of interest. The School of Mathematics & Statistics is the home of the Statistics & Data Analytics group within the University of Glasgow. It is one of the six Schools, which constitute the College of Science and Engineering, which in turn is one of the four Colleges within the University. The School is large, growing and diverse. It offers full undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes at all levels, and it undertakes research of high international standard. We have research groups of international excellence in all three of the main areas of the subject, traditionally described as Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics, although we increasingly have research activity which blurs these descriptions. The School has over 70 academic staff across Pure and Applied Mathematics, and Statistics, together with over 100 PhD students, 25 research assistants and 20 student support, administrative, and IT staff. Research has shown that women and members of other underrepresented groups are reluctant to apply for a position if they do not meet all the advertised criteria. We encourage potential candidates to still consider applying and to contact Professor Janine Illian janine.illian@glasgow.ac.uk, Head of Statistics, for an informal discussion. To give interested candidates an opportunity to learn about the School and to meet a few members of the Statistics group we recently held an informal webinar; a recording of the webinar can be accessed here. We expect interviews to take place w/c 20th November 2023. The interviews and presentations will very likely take place in person. Please visit our website for further information on the School of Mathematics & Statistics at https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/mathematicsstatistics/ Closing date: 11.45pm (UK TIME) on Sunday 29th October 2023
