at the University of Sydney has a rich history of
intellectual endeavour. Today the Faculty has an
outstanding reputation for diversity and excellence in

Australia.
Econometrics and Business Statistics is a dynamic, high-

statistics and management decision sciences. They are
engaged in the development of statistical modelling
procedures and their application to problems arising in

Statistics brings sophisticated quantitative techniques to
all areas of research and scholarship within the Faculty.
The discipline has strengths in the areas of financial
econometrics, computationally intensive estimation
methodology, Bayesian econometrics, business forecasting,
environmental econometrics and the econometrics of energy
markets. We are particularly seeking new academic staff to
further strengthen these areas of research.
