Vacancies
From time to time vacancies arise within the department. Posts will be advertised on this page as and when they arise.
Lecturer in Statistics
The post holder will conduct research in a branch of probability or statistics, contribute to the departmental teaching programme and provide and supervise research projects for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The vacancy is part of a UCL-wide initiative in inverse problems covering mathematical, computational and statistical approaches to inverse problems, as well as the application of these methodologies, and the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to this initiative.
The successful candidate should hold, or be about to hold, a PhD or equivalent qualification in Statistics or a closely related discipline. They will possess a high research profile which includes a track record of international research excellence and publishing in probability or statistics, including, as appropriate, aspects of inverse problems such as Bayesian approaches, errors-in-measurement, deconvolution and regularization. Candidates whose research does not already have explicit links to inverse problems will be expected to have a clearly formulated plan on how to develop such links. The appointee should have the ability to construct and deliver lecture courses on topics relevant to the needs of the Department and possess excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication skills.
The post is available from June 2013.
Closing date: 6 May 2013
Lecturer in Statistics and Risk Analysis
The post holder will pursue research in statistics and risk analysis that enhances, complements and/or extends current activity in the Department of Statistical Science and the Institute for Risk & Disaster Reduction. The post holder should aim to maximise the impact of their research and transfer of knowledge and engage with policy makers and practitioners, in particular taking advantage of London’s unique position as a global hub in finance, health, consulting, engineering and humanitarian assistance. The appointee will be expected to assume a leadership role in the IRDR and to contribute to teaching courses that are available to students of the IRDR and the Department of Statistical Science.
The successful candidate should hold, or be about to hold, a PhD or equivalent qualification in mathematics or statistics. They will possess a high research profile which includes a track record of international research excellence and publishing in statistics and risk analysis, and the ambition to become a leader in the field. The appointee should have the ability to construct and deliver lecture courses on topics relevant to the needs of the Department and the IRDR and possess excellent interpersonal, oral and written communication skills.
The post is available from June 2013.
Closing date: 12 May 2013
Research Associate in Statistics (MDI)
The Research Associate will work on the EPSRC funded project: “Advanced Stochastic Computation for Inference from Tree, Graph and Network Models”, led by Dr Maria De Iorio in collaboration with Dr Alexandros Beskos (UCL Statistical Science), Professor David Balding (UCL Genetics Institute) and Associate Professor Ajay Jasra (Department of Statistics and Applied Probability, National University of Singapore). The main objective of the project is to develop and characterise principled approximations to complex statistical models and hence to facilitate their implementation in real data applications.
Candidates should hold or be close to submitting a PhD (or equivalent qualification) in Statistics. It is essential that the successful candidate has previous experience of Bayesian methods, experience of programming simulation algorithms and excellent communication skills.
The post is available from September 2013 and is initially funded for 36 months.
Closing date: 14 May 2013
