[SIPTA] Temporary/Visiting Lectureship in Statistics - Durham University
Dear Colleagues,
We have a temporary lectureship at Durham, see the announcement and link below. The main reason is sudden absence of a colleague for the coming academic year, whose main teaching load (final year course on Bayesian Statistics) needs to be covered. Ideally we find someone who can start in October and teach that module (materials are readily available) - but starting a bit later (to commence teaching from January) is also possible. We might even be able to change the specific module that the person teaches, but that would be less ideal.
This is a good opportunity for a career-young person, to get a year experience. The overall teaching load is low and therefore there should be substantial time for research, where we hope that the person who joins us will be interested in topics closely related to our own interests - so anyone with interest in imprecise methods is welcome to apply!
It is also possibly of interest to someone at more advanced stage of their career, who may be able to take a year's leave from their institution, so please contact us asap if this would be of interest to you.
Please forward this email to anybody who you think may be interested!
Thanks
Frank

Closing date: 21 August 2013
To provide teaching cover for a leave of absence the department of mathematical sciences will appoint a lecturer to contribute to the teaching of statistics for a period of up to one year. We will be especially interested in candidates with experience of researching or teaching in the area of Bayesian statistics. There is flexibility in the starting date which could be either October 2013 or January 2014.
The successful candidate will have an excellent research record in an area of statistics or probability and would be expected to continue to undertake and publish original research and contribute to the research activities of the department and to undertake teaching and administrative duties as assigned by the Head of Department of Mathematical Sciences.
Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in the University.
