Lecturer in Statistics and Data Analytics

Do you have an established background in teaching and research relating to statistics and data analytics? Do you want to play a key role in the successful management and development of advanced, complex multi-level databases for teaching and research? 

The School of Food Science and Nutrition (FSN) is currently undergoing a period of expansion, and we are looking for a Lecturer to enhance our teaching and research capabilities in data analytics. You will contribute to the teaching of statistics and data handling as well as controlling the creation, storage and maintenance of the School’s extensive data sets. You will work collaboratively with researchers to solve problems and develop new approaches to challenges within food science and nutrition research. As well as producing complex extracts and reports for internal and external use, you will also train and supervise students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in statistics, data protection and data storage. 

As an experienced data handler, you will contribute to the development of grant proposals to research councils, paying particular attention to the creation of Data Management Plan statements. As well as developing new complex, inter-relational databases for the School’s studies and research, you will oversee the School’s existing databases and will use your extensive knowledge to incorporate new data sources into them. You will also take responsibility for operational planning within your own area, monitoring achievement against those plans and addressing any issues that arise, using your own initiative. 

You will have a degree in computing or a related numerate discipline with a substantial computing element, or relevant professional experience. As well as a proven ability to communicate technical information coherently and succinctly to a wide range of audiences, you will have an excellent and methodical attention to detail, and a proven track record of working independently with minimal supervision.
