The University of St Andrews is seeking to enhance its strengths in statistics by appointing two new Lecturers. We are looking for scholars with outstanding potential and hence we are advertising flexibly across two roles, Lecturer in Statistics (Education Focused) or Lecturer in Statistics (Education and Research).
*Applications from candidates who wish to apply for Associate Lecturer (Education Focused) at Grade 6 (salary £34,304-£40,927) may also be considered.
** 3years fixed-term post: cover for research leave. the post will cease to exist upon the return of the substantive post holder.
*** In accordance with the new immigration rules, it is with regret that applying for this role on a part-time basis does not meet the current suitability requirements set by the UKVI to enable sponsorship of migrant workers.
Successful candidates for the Education Focused role will be inspirational teachers in statistics committed to delivering and enhancing our highly-rated programme of teaching at undergraduate and taught postgraduate level and will have experience in curriculum development.
Successful candidates for the Education and Research role will have a strong and growing international research reputation and commitment to delivering high quality teaching. We welcome applications from across the broad spectrum of statistics, and particularly from candidates whose research could link with existing research strengths in St Andrews, including ecological and environmental statistics, medical statistics, and statistical ‘omics’. We are especially keen to appoint candidates with strength in statistical methodology and candidates with interests in the integration of machine learning methods and statistical inference methods.
For all roles, we welcome applications from candidates who hold a PhD in statistics or a closely related discipline. Candidates should have teaching experience at undergraduate or postgraduate level, have experience applying relevant analytical skills and teaching techniques to a wide range of learners, have good communication and teamwork skills, and share our desire to educate and inform students.
