Florence Nightingale Bicentenary Fellow in Statistics (four posts)

The Department of Statistics is recruiting to four Florence Nightingale
Bicentenary Fellow in Statistics posts. These are career development positions
intended to carry around half the teaching load of an ordinary Oxford faculty
position. The successful candidates would be expected to take up their roles
by 1 September 2024 at the latest. Start-up funding of £2,000 per year will be
available. These roles are fixed-term, with two available for five years, and
two available for two years.





The postholders will join the dynamic and collaborative Department of
Statistics. The Department carries out world-leading research in computational
statistics, machine learning, theoretical statistics, and probability as well
as applied statistics fields, including statistical finance (including
arbitrage and market microstructure), statistical and population genetics,
bioinformatics and statistical epidemiology.





The successful candidate will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil with post-
qualification research experience in the area of statistics or a related
subject. For Grade 7, the successful applicant is not required to have post-
qualification research experience, but will hold or be close to completion of
a relevant PhD/DPhil. They will have a strong publication record and
sufficient specialist knowledge to develop research projects, along with
effective teaching and supervision skills.





We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and a Race Equality
Charter Bronze Award, which guide our progress towards advancing gender and
racial equality. As part of our commitment to openness, inclusivity and
transparency, we would particularly welcome applications from women and black
and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in
positions of this type at Oxford. Applicants will be judged on merit,
according to their ability to satisfy the selection criteria as outlined in
full in the job description.





You will be required to upload a statement setting out how you meet the
selection criteria, a curriculum vitae including full list of publications,
and the contact details of two referees as part of your online application.
Please note that applicants are responsible for contacting their referees and
making sure that their letters are sent to hr@stats.ox.ac.uk directly by the
closing date, quoting vacancy reference 168775.
