JOBS: Lecturer/Senior Lect/Assoc Prof at Auckland New Zealand
(North American equivalents are Assistant, Associate and full Professor)

The University of Auckland's Department of Statistics is the largest and 
most active in New Zealand and one of the most active in the southern 
hemisphere. It has approximately 30 academic staff of whom 20 have 
positions that include substantial research components. It teaches a 
full range of programmes from Bachelors to PhD.  The Department 
currently has approximately 60 graduate students of whom 19 are PhD 
students. It also has a substantial service role, has over 900 
equivalent full-time students in total, and is expanding.

The Department covers a wide range of areas of statistics but with 
particular strengths in statistical computing (it is the birthplace of 
R), statistical ecology, and biostatistics. It has strong Bayesian and 
applied probability groups.  It is an outward looking Department with 
strong collaborative links with many other Departments and Research 
Institutes. It is a partner in NZIMA, one of the first four Centres of 
Research Excellence established in New Zealand. With Auckland being an 
easy stop-over point en route to Australia and only 3 hours from Sydney, 
the Department attracts many visitors.

Applications are invited from those with research interests in any 
branch of Statistics broadly interpreted but applications from those 
specializing in social statistics or sampling, applied probability, 
statistical computing, bioinformatics, biostatistics, or areas related 
to business are particularly welcome.

Appointments may be made at Postdoctoral Fellow, Lecturer, Senior 
Lecturer or Associate-Professor level depending on the qualifications 
and experience of the applicant. (The range of positions at which 
appointments can be made is equivalent, in North American terms, to 
Postdoctoral Fellow, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and full 
Professor)
