To build our Statistics Group we are offering an opportunity for
two permanent academic appointments that would suit motivated
persons who wish to live in the vibrant southern city of
Dunedin, gateway to the beautiful Otago Region of New Zealand.
These positions are ideal for active researchers who want to
further their career in an academic environment, particularly
those interested in collaborative research with academics in
medical and scientific fields. University of Otago is one of New
Zealand's most research intensive Universities and members of
the Department are well-placed to collaborate.
Research interests of staff at Otago include environmental and
ecological statistics, Bayesian inference, statistical theory,
point processes, spatial statistics, biostatistics and
bioinformatics. We welcome applications from candidates wishing
to extend their research in any area of statistics.
The successful applicants will teach statistics at the
undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and supervise
postgraduate research students. The research/teaching nexus is
emphasised at Otago and we structure teaching loads to
facilitate personal scholarship of our academics as well as to
expose our students to research-informed teaching.
Candidates should have a PhD in Statistics, a commitment to
ongoing statistical research, and experience in teaching. We
welcome international candidates and can provide financial
assistance for relocation and visa applications. We encourage
academics to maintain international research connections and
support this with generous research and study leave provisions.
The Department is committed to diversity in staffing and we
encourage applications from women and other groups who are
under-represented in the mathematical and statistical sciences.
The University has generous parental leave provisions and
operates childcare centres covering the period birth to eight
years.
The salary range for a Lecturer is $76,595 to $91,971 and for an
