Lecturer in Mathematics

The Role

Applications are invited at Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level in Mathematical or Statistical Data Science, broadly interpreted to include AI. The role will be based within the Statistics and Data Science section in the School of Mathematics, Statistics & Physics (MSP), with a flexible start date to be agreed.

You will be expected to carry out excellent research and teaching in an area of Mathematical and/or Statistical Data Science which complements and strengthens existing activities within the School. In addition, there is an opportunity to engage with applied Data Science across a wide range of disciplines within the University, including the School of Computing and the Faculty of Medical Sciences.

You will contribute to the research profile of the Statistics and Data Science Section within MSP by publishing in internationally recognised journals, demonstrating research impact, and securing external research funding.

Additionally, you will be a key contributor to the Data Science 2030 (DS2030) faculty project to broaden our institutional offering in data science, alongside the related Artificial Intelligence 2030 project. This will comprise a joined up educational offering at UG and PGT level, and will be sector-leading in providing forward-facing data skills embedded in academic units across all parts of the university. DS2030 will act as a solid platform to build tangible cross-institutional research and business engagement opportunities. DS2030 will be supported by strategic investment and the role holder will be a critical contributor to the success of the project.
