This post represents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to join a team of excellent academics in Keele University’s Faculty of Natural Sciences. The Faculty is responsible for research and teaching in many areas of computer science, mathematics, and the physical and biological sciences.

Applications are welcome from enthusiastic individuals committed to high quality research and teaching in any relevant field of Mathematical or Statistical Data Science (e.g. statistics, mathematical artificial intelligence, mathematical machine learning, statistical data science, computational data science – but not restricted to these particular fields, although the preference is a field in Pure Mathematics), and who have interests that complement our existing research strengths while broadening the scope of our research and teaching expertise. 

The lectureship post is part of continued growth and expansion of Data Science and Mathematics at Keele, which presents many new opportunities for the development of synergies in both teaching and research. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an active research programme that both complements and extends our existing profile in Data Science, Mathematics and Statistics. Candidates are also expected to develop research collaborations with colleagues at Keele and elsewhere in strategic research areas of the University, such as smart energy, big data, global health or social inclusion.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in an appropriate area of Mathematical, Statistical or Computer Science (or be very close to completion of their PhD) and will have a strong commitment to delivering high quality undergraduate and postgraduate research and teaching, including supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate research projects and the development and delivery of new modules. The post-holder will have the skills, enthusiasm and flexibility for teaching across a wide range of Data Science, Mathematics and Statistics topics and will also contribute to recruitment activities and administrative duties within our Data Science programmes.
