The Centre for Mathematical Sciences at Lund University seeks expressions of interest for a tenure track Associate Senior Lecturership (Swedish “biträdande universitetslektor”, short BUL) at its Division for Mathematical Statistics.

We are looking for a promising young scholar of underrepresented gender with a research profile in a modern area of probability or statistics, including, but not limited to, applied probability theory (eg. towards MCMC or SMC), mathematical foundations of machine learning, causal inference and graphical models, penalized estimation and high dimensional data.

As Associate Senior Lecturer, you will complement the existing strengths of the Division by bringing in your unique research interests. During your 6 year qualification phase, you will have a mild teaching load, the possibility to co-supervise a PhD student and the possibility to attend courses from our teaching qualification and career development programme.

Lund University offers a competitive salary, attractive employer benefits and family-friendly working hours. Candidates must be less than 5 years after PhD to be eligible for this position, extensions are possible for periods of illness or caring responsibilities.

Interested? Then send your CV and research statement to bul-matstat@matstat.lu.se at your earliest convenience. Your emails will be read and answered by Erik Lindström (head of division) and Sara Maad Sasane (responsible for this hiring).

We intend to invite interesting candidates to a virtual seminar talk and campus visit in the first half of April. More information about the hiring process will be given at this occasion.

Within this special programme, we have hired Carina Geldhauser (2019 call for applications) and are in the process of hiring two more BUL in applied mathematics (2020 call for applications).
