We are looking for someone with a strong track record in research, evidenced by publications in leading statistical journals, and the potential to attract external research funding. He/she will be expected to further enhance the international research profile of the Statistics Group both individually and through interactions with other members of
the Group. The successful applicant will also be expected to contribute strongly to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The Statistics group at Kent currently comprises 6 Professors, 1 Reader and 7 Lecturers, with three research associates and 14 PhD students. In RAE 2008, 65% of our research was assessed as internationally excellent or world leading. Our research emphasis is broad, including Bayesian methods, particularly Bayesian nonparametrics and MCMC, statistical
ecology, nonparametric regression, applied probability and risk, time series and finance, medical image analysis, biological modelling and shape analysis. We have good collaborative links on campus, for example with the School of Biosciences and the Durrell Institute of Conservation Ecology.

The Statistics Group is part of the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science, which has nearly 50 full-time academic staff and offers a variety of UG and PG degrees, with about 950 current students. As well as a BSc in Mathematics and Statistics, we have a long-running MSC programme in Statistics and a recently launched MSc in Statistics with Finance.
