Cambridge Statistics Initiative (CSI)

我们将根据统计实验室和大学其他地方的卓越成就和专业知识，建立一个数理统计小组。理论统计学从潜在的应用领域汲取生命之血，因此目前的项目将与剑桥大学和英国其他地方的杰出团队合作开发。统计小组的主要目标将是发展对应用具有普遍重要性的核心数学和方法统计。主要的合作伙伴是工程部，在那里通过通用理论的发展来面对应用。通过与应用领域的紧密联系，该小组的研究将为英国工业带来更大的价值。将建立四个新的讲师职位，最初由EPSRC奖资助，但随后将由大学基金全额支付。统计实验室将增设一个由大学资助的统计学教授职位。这五名受聘人员将与统计实验室及工程学系现有的有相关兴趣的终身教职人员组成一个新小组。博士后助教名额约21人年，博士研究生名额9人。被任命为这些职位的个人将支持小组成员的研究项目，将与剑桥的同类小组合作，并将接受培训，成为适合英国高等教育部门就业的独立研究人员。研究助理将进行创新研究，同时通过与本科生和研究生的接触，提高他们的行政和教学技能水平。

We will build a group in Mathematical Statistics based upon established excellence and expertise in the Statistical Laboratory and elsewhere in the University. Theoretical statistics takes its life blood from areas of potential application, and thus the current project will be developed in collaboration with distinguished groups elsewhere in Cambridge and the UK. The principal target of the Statistics group will be to develop core mathematical and methodological statistics of generic importance for applications. The major partner is the Engineering Department, where applications are confronted through the development of generic theory. Through strong links to application areas, the research of the group will bring greater value to UK industryFour new Lectureships will be established, funded initially from the EPSRC Award but thereafter as a full charge on University funds. A further University-funded Chair in Statistics will be created in the Statistical Laboratory. The five appointees will join existing tenured staff in the Statistical Laboratory and Engineering with associated interests to form a new group. There will be about 21 person-years of postdoctoral Research Assistantship, and 9 PhD studentships. The individuals appointed to these posts will support the research programmes of members of the group, will collaborate with cognate groups in Cambridge, and will be trained as independent researchers suitable for employment in the UK higher-education sector. The Research Assistants will pursue innovative research, while developing their levels of administrative and teaching skills through contact with undergraduate and graduate students.
