NUST has one full-time academic vacancy in Biostatistics in Bulawayo. The appointment is advertised at Lecturer, Senior Lecturer or Associate Professor level. The role supports students and colleagues in the department through teaching, project supervision and statistical input to academic work.
Employer: National University of Science and Technology (NUST)
Location: Bulawayo
Closing date: 2026-11-06
Role and responsibilities
The successful candidate will teach Biostatistics and Research Methods at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Supervising student research and providing biostatistical support to other academics are also specified. This combination makes subject knowledge and the ability to communicate statistical reasoning to different audiences particularly relevant to the application.
Qualifications and experience
A relevant BSc Honours degree and an MSc or MPhil in Biostatistics or Statistics are required. Where the first degree is in Statistics, the postgraduate qualification must be in Biostatistics or a biology-related field. University teaching experience and an ongoing or completed Biostatistics PhD are added advantages.
Preparing your application
Give examples of statistical teaching, research support or project supervision. Explain the research questions you helped address and how you communicated the methods and findings, without sharing confidential participant data or unpublished work you do not have permission to disclose. Make your application easy to assess by linking each stated requirement to evidence in your CV. Give accurate study dates and distinguish completed qualifications from ongoing work. Describe your own contribution to projects and explain the results, rather than relying on job titles alone. Before submitting, check the role title, attachments and contact information, and read any updated instructions on the employer’s page.
