Position in Canterbury, New Zealand

I have received the following announcement for a continuing (tenured) position in Statistics, at the level of Senior Lecturer or Associate Professor (comparable to Associate Professor/Professor, respectively, in the US system) in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand.

“We are looking for an individual with a strong demonstrated background in research, teaching and professional practice. In this position, the successful candidate will contribute to the Departments undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and undertake high quality research building excellent collaborative relationships with other appropriate researchers, locally, nationally and internationally.

This position will also have the outstanding opportunity to establish and lead a Statistical Consulting Unit for the University of Canterbury. Hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, this Unit will provide statistical advice and support services to meet the needs of
postgraduate students and staff across the University.”

The University of Canterbury being a very nice place to be, as I experimented in the Winter of 2006, thanks to an Erskine Fellowship, applications are definitely recommended.
