This is an opportunity to join one of the world’s most prominent Departments of Statistics at the Associate Professor level, in an education-focussed role.

The Department’s 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 120 postgraduate students on the MSc Statistics, MSc Mathematical Finance and PhD degree programmes. 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. Its research spans a broad range of areas in statistical methodology, computational statistics, applied statistics, theoretical and applied probability, finance and interdisciplinary collaboration.

We are looking for an excellent academic with the vision and drive to help coordinate the future development of the Department’s internationally renowned degree courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate). You will have a track record of high-quality university teaching in statistics (to be interpreted broadly to include underpinning mathematics), contributing directly to the delivery of high-quality education in statistics and probability at Warwick. You will work closely with other departmental academic and administrative staff to critically review our teaching provision and lead appropriate responses to new challenges as well as ensuring the continued smooth running of all courses. This will include leading strategic developments in one or more areas of outreach, widening participation and student engagement.

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. Further information about working at the University of Warwick, including information about childcare provision, career development and relocation is at https://warwick.ac.uk/services/humanresources/workinghere/.

Informal enquires can be addressed to Professor Jon Forster (J.J.Forster@warwick.ac.uk) or Dr Tessy Papavasileiou (A.Papavasiliou@warwick.ac.uk) or to any other senior member of the Warwick Statistics Department.

Start date: flexible, although we would prefer the successful candidate to be in post by 1 September 2022.

Closing date: 30 January 2022.

It is expected that interviews will take place in March 2022.
