Location: University of Warwick Campus, Coventry
About the Role
This is an opportunity to join one of the world’s most prominent and research-active Departments of Statistics at the Assistant Professor level.
The Department’s research spans a broad range of areas in applied, computational, methodological and theoretical statistics, data science, theoretical and applied probability, mathematical finance, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Its teaching programmes attract exceptional students at all levels, comprising around 800 undergraduate students on degree courses in MORSE, Mathematics and Statistics, and Data Science, and 150 postgraduate students on the MSc Statistics, MSc Mathematical Finance, and PhD degree streams. Major strategic initiatives include the research centre CRiSM, which acts as a catalyst for research across the breadth of the Department, the Applied Statistics & Risk Unit (AS&RU), which promotes and coordinates external partnerships, and the national Academy for PhD Training in Statistics (APTS).
The Department has close relations with the co-located Mathematics Institute and Department of Computer Science, and with other departments such as Economics and the Warwick Business School. It is strongly engaged with the Alan Turing Institute in London. The newly established Warwick Centre for the Applications of the Mathematical and Computing Sciences (CAMaCS) is a joint initiative with Mathematics and Computer Science designed to link Warwick’s world-leading research in the departments with external partners and bring benefits to society through impact.
Start date: 1 September 2025.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
