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
exceptional candidate the Senior Lecturer salary range is $96,832 to
$120,931. The positions are full time and permanent subject to the
satisfactory completion of the confirmation path objectives for new
appointees.

Note that the U.S. equivalent level of appointment (for Lecturer) is
Assistant Professor and that confirmation path is equivalent to
tenure-track.
