[The Opportunity] The School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics wishes to appoint an Associate Research Fellow in Computational Statistics to start in October 2023 (or a mutually agreeable date). This post complements the expansion in Statistics research through the appointment of the TIBRA Foundation Chair in Mathematical Sciences. We seek candidates with a track record of high-quality research in statistical methodology, focusing on areas of Bayesian computations.

The successful candidate will develop statistical methodology for contemporary and application-driven challenges in high-dimensional Bayesian statistics and contribute to the supervision of an associated doctoral research studentship.

[Selection Criteria] Completion (or near completion) of a relevant Doctoral qualification in Statistics/Applied Probability/Machine Learning on Computational Statistics, Bayesian methodology, Uncertainty quantification, or other closely related research topics.

[How to Apply] You are required to submit a cover letter detailing your interest in this position, relevant qualifications and include your research statement. You are also required to attach an up-to-date CV and answer the selection criteria questionnaire as part of the application process.
