The Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics is seeking to recruit a new Faculty member who can contribute to research and teaching in Statistics from September 2023 (or by agreement).

Appointment may be made at any grade between Assistant Professor (Grade 9) and Professor (Grade 11/Reader equivalent) and applications are welcome at all levels. Appointment at Assistant Professor, subject to satisfactory completion of a probationary period (5 years), leads to a tenured position. A candidate who can demonstrate a track record of exceptional achievement may alternatively be appointed directly at the level of Associate Professor (Grade 10) or Professor (Grade 11). The successful candidate will be eligible for the University's merit-based promotions procedure leading to Professor (Grade 12).

Candidates should hold (or be close to completing) a PhD or equivalent in statistics, mathematics or a closely related subject. The ideal candidate for this position will have a strong track record of research excellence and will be able to lecture a range of courses in statistics at undergraduate and masters-level. They will have the ability, or potential, to secure research funding to support their research vision and build a network of collaborators. The post-holder will be part of the world-leading Statistical Laboratory with strong interdisciplinary connections within Cambridge, the UK and internationally.

Cambridge University has been ranked in the top 5 for Mathematics in the QS World Rankings for each of the last 5 years. The Mathematics departments occupy a modern, purpose-built campus, also including the Isaac Newton Institute. As well as relocation costs, start-up packages (up to 5 years) are provided to assist the post-holder in establishing their research in Cambridge and regular sabbatical leave enables Faculty to focus on research and scholarship.
