Lecturer in Statistics - AO1799SB
School of Mathematics and Statistics

School of Mathematics and Statistics, Salary - £45,585 - ££56,021 per annum*, Start: 1 November 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter

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).

 

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’. 

 

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.

 

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.

 

For informal enquiries, contact the Head of School, Professor Mark Chaplain (mathshos@st-andrews.ac.uk), co-Head of the Statistics Division, Professor Len Thomas (len.thomas@st-andrews.ac.uk), or the Deputy Head of School, Dr Antonia Wilmot-Smith (aw37@st-andrews.ac.uk).

 

*Applications from candidates who wish to apply for Associate Lecturer (Education Focused) at Grade 6 (salary £37,099-£44,263) may also be considered, and if appointed the job description would be adapted accordingly.

 

We are fully committed to equality and diversity in our recruitment and employment policies. We operate family-friendly hours for core meetings and are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements for staff.

 

Applications are particularly welcome from women, people from the Black, Asian, Minority or Ethnic (BAME) community and other protected characteristics who are underrepresented in Academic posts at the University.

 

Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the St Andrews experience. We strive to create a fair and inclusive culture demonstrated through our commitment to diversity awards (Athena Swan, Carer Positive, LGBT Charter, Race Charters and Stonewall). We celebrate diversity by promoting profiles of BAME, LGBTIQ+ staff and supporting networks including the Staff BAME Network; Staff with Disabilities Network; Staff LGBTIQ+ Network; and the Staff Parents & Carers Network. Full details available online: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/edi/. The School of Mathematics and Statistics is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment that supports equality of opportunity and fair and equal representation for all https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/mathematics-statistics/about/equality-diversity/.
