Description

Associate Professor is the main academic career grade at Oxford with a focus on research and teaching, spanning the full range of professor grades in the USA.

Associate Professors are appointed jointly by a University department/faculty and an Oxford college, and you will have a contract with both.

The postholder 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.

We possess state-of-the-art facilities for our teaching and research, including two lecture theatres.

The Department enjoys close connections to a range of others within Oxford, including the Big Data Institute (BDI) and the Pandemic Sciences Institute.

Research from the Department of Statistics and the Mathematical Institute in Oxford was submitted together for the UK's most recent national research assessment exercise, the Research Excellence Framework (REF Overall, 78% of our submission was judged to be 4* (the highest score available, for research quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance, and rigour).

This outstanding result is a testament to the breadth, quality and impact of the research produced by colleagues in our two departments, and the outstanding environment in which they work, supported by our excellent professional services staff.
