Application Deadline
Salary
£48,235 to £57,255

Location: Department of Statistics, 24-29 St Giles’, Oxford, OX1 3LB

Salary: Grade 8: £48,235 - £57,255 with a discretionary range to £62,407 pa

We currently have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and motivated individual to join our dedicated, professional and friendly Statistical Consulting Unit at the Department of Statistics. 

The (Senior) Statistical Consultant will play a key role in end-to-end provision of the Department's Statistical Consulting Unit, which may include: liaising with clients across a range of sectors to understand their needs in the domain of statistics and data analysis; formulating and providing bespoke solutions to their statistical problems; interpreting and delivering the results of the statistical analysis, as well as developing appropriate code; contributing to the design and delivery of training when required. 

The successful (Senior) Statistical Consultant will be expected to engage with a broad range of stakeholders across private and public sectors to promote the Department's Statistical Consultancy Services and proactively identify new opportunities for service provision. In addition to targeting external clients, the postholder will provide statistical advice and consultancy to University staff and researchers, and actively engage with other Departments, acting as an ambassador for good statistical practice. 

A doctorate (or have equivalent research or professional experience) in Statistics or a related field with post-qualification statistical client-facing consultancy experience is essential for this role. In addition, the (Senior) Statistical Consultant will have a broad knowledge of applied statistics and statistical software, with evidence of an ability to communicate engagingly both in writing and orally, and to explain statistical concepts to non-technical clients and audiences. Strong track record of projects and consultancy activities with other Departments of the University of Oxford and/or external clients is a must. It would be desirable to have knowledge and experience of applied artificial intelligence/machine learning and a chartered Statistician (CStat) qualification. 

This role is advertised at a grade 8; however, we would be willing to consider candidates with potential but less experience who are seeking a development opportunity, for which an initial appointment would be made to a Statistical Consultant role at grade 7 (£38,674- £46,913 per annum with a discretionary range to £51,059) with the responsibilities adjusted accordingly. This would be discussed with applicants at interview/appointment where appropriate. 

Only applications received before 12.00 noon (UK time) on Monday 30th June can be considered. Interviews are to be held on Thursday 24th July.
