Professor/Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer: Department of Statistics (2 posts)

Recognising that diversity is important in achieving excellence, Rhodes University especially encourages South African members of underrepresented designated groups to apply. Spouses and Partners of existing staff members are also encouraged to apply.

Please note that this appointment will be made in line with the requirements of the Employment Equity Act of RSA and the University's recruitment and selection policies and equity strategies. The initial focus will be on equity candidates.

In terms of Immigration Legislation (Act No. 13 of 2002 & Regulations), international staff members (non-SA citizens) have to comply with the provisions of the Act. This therefore means that the period of employment to non-SA citizens will be guided by the validity period of the work permit.  In line with legislation governing employment of foreign nationals, employment contracts will be offered on the basis that a development plan would be implemented for the transfer of skills to a South African resident. The onus is on candidates to ensure that they are in possession of a valid work permit before the commencement of employment at the University, failing which the employment with Rhodes University will be terminated.

NB: Preference will be given to candidates from the designated group and Rhodes University reserves the right to re-advertise if no suitably qualified South African Black applicant is recommended for appointment.

Partners and spouses of Rhodes University staff are encouraged to apply.

Requirements

At least a PhD in Statistical Sciences or Mathematics (but not in Operations Research / Applied Statistics / Demography / Decision Science / Analytics / Applied Mathematics*) with experience in teaching in the following disciplinary areas: Mathematical Statistics (at undergraduate and postgraduate levels): Multivariate Analysis; Generalized Linear Models; Bayesian Statistics; Financial Statistics; Stochastic Processes; Bootstrap; Classification/Statistical Learning.

*The Department of Statistics teaches mathematical statistics with emphasis on the development of the statistical theory and its subsequent application thereof and not necessarily the application of stats.
