(Senior) Statistical Consultant

We currently have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and motivated
individual to join our dedicated, professional and friendly Statistical
Consulting Unit at the Department of Statistics.





The (Senior) Statistical Consultant will play a key role in end-to-end
provision of the Department's Statistical Consulting Unit, which may include:
liaising with clients across a range of sectors to understand their needs in
the domain of statistics and data analysis; formulating and providing bespoke
solutions to their statistical problems; interpreting and delivering the
results of the statistical analysis, as well as developing appropriate code;
contributing to the design and delivery of training when required.





The successful (Senior) Statistical Consultant will be expected to engage with
a broad range of stakeholders across private and public sectors to promote the
Department's Statistical Consultancy Services and proactively identify new
opportunities for service provision. In addition to targeting external
clients, the postholder will provide statistical advice and consultancy to
University staff and researchers, and actively engage with other Departments,
acting as an ambassador for good statistical practice.





A doctorate (or have equivalent research or professional experience) in
Statistics or a related field with post-qualification statistical client-
facing consultancy experience is essential for this role. In addition, the
(Senior) Statistical Consultant will have a broad knowledge of applied
statistics and statistical software, with evidence of an ability to
communicate engagingly both in writing and orally, and to explain statistical
concepts to non-technical clients and audiences. Strong track record of
projects and consultancy activities with other Departments of the University
of Oxford and/or external clients is a must. It would be desirable to have
knowledge and experience of applied artificial intelligence/machine learning
and a chartered Statistician (CStat) qualification.





**This role is advertised at a grade 8; however, we would be willing to
consider candidates with potential but less experience who are seeking a
development opportunity, for which an initial appointment would be made to a
Statistical Consultant role at grade 7 ( £38,674- £46,913 per annum with a
discretionary range to £51,059) with the responsibilities adjusted
accordingly. This would be discussed with applicants at interview/appointment
where appropriate.**





**Only applications received before 12.00 noon (UK time) on Monday 30th June
can be considered. Interviews are to be held on Thursday 24th July.**
