Cambridge Statistics Initiative (CSI)

我们将建立一个数学统计组的基础上建立卓越和专业知识在统计实验室和其他地方的大学。理论统计学从潜在的应用领域中汲取生命力，因此目前的项目将与剑桥和英国其他地方的杰出团体合作开发。统计小组的主要目标是开发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系，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，但此后将全额收取大学资金。将在统计实验室设立另一个由大学资助的统计学讲座。这五名被任命者将加入统计实验室和工程部现有的终身教职员工，并组成一个新的小组。将有大约21人-年的博士后研究助理，和9个博士生。被任命为这些职位的个人将支持该小组成员的研究计划，将与剑桥的同源团体合作，并将被培训为适合在英国高等教育部门就业的独立研究人员。研究助理将追求创新的研究，同时通过与本科生和研究生的接触发展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.
