Associate/Full Professor of Biostatistics - University of Minnesota

The Division of Biostatistics, School of Public Health, at the University of Minnesota is announcing an opening for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position at the Associate or Full Professor rank.

We are especially interested in individuals with academic and research records in (1) survival analysis, including methods for recurrent event data, adaptive clinical trials, and related applications, (2) methods for survey sampling small area estimation, or (3) structural equation modeling (SEM), causal analysis, and other methods useful for accounting for latent factors in observational data.  We will however consider applications from candidates in other important related research areas, as well as those with PhDs in areas besides biostatistics.  The Division has significant strengths in the broad areas targeted by this search, with several faculty members having active research agendas and both methodological and applied funding in areas such as spatial epidemiology, environmental health, cancer control, adaptive clinical trials, and bioinformatics.  These grants complement our larger, more collaborative research projects with investigators in the University's Academic Health Center.  At the present time, the Division has statistical and data coordinating centers for NIH-funded clinical trials networks in HIV/AIDS, and in lung and cardiovascular diseases,

Assistant Professor or Associate Professor position in Bayesian statistics at University of California, Santa Cruz

The faculty in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), invite applications for an academic year (9-month) tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate Professor faculty position. In this search, we seek candidates who specialize in Bayesian statistical methods and their applications.

The research project to be developed by the laboratory will aim to accept the quantum mechanical perspective in the context of harmonic analysis and information theory. We are interested in extending classical estimates for Fourier multipliers to group von Neumann algebras and other noncommutative scenarios. Among other topics, this includes Hörmander-Mihlin multiplier type theorems, Calderón-Zygmund and Littlewood-Paley methods, hypercontractivity and log-Sobolev inequalities, transference techniques… Additionally, some of these problems lead to new viewpoints in classical harmonic analysis. Regarding quantum information, the project will be focussing on quantum channels, Bell inequalities and entanglement theory and quantum games via operador spaces.

The main goal of the laboratory is concerned with the development of theoretical and computational techniques in dynamical systems theory that can be used to assess and predict the performance of “realistic” ocean models. This project proposes the use of dynamical systems techniques as a metric that allows one to establish the performance of complex, nonlinear partial differential equations that are used to model a wide range of behavior and phenomena in the ocean. Thus this promising approach should provide crucial information relevant to the mathematical and computational modeling that will directly impact many of society’s pressing issues, such as sustainability, climate change and environmental impact.

Postdoctoral Fellow - Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling of GBR Catchment to Coastal Systems

The Position:

In this Postdoctoral Fellow role, you will be working with scientists from the CSIRO Water for a Healthy Country Flagship to develop statistical methods for modelling Great Barrier Reef (GBR) catchment to coast systems. 

In this position, you will help to improve the environmental management of Australia’s important water ecosystems through the development of statistical methodologies that link mechanistic models with observational data in space and time. Models developed will require a stochastic framework that can address the important science questions regarding system behaviour in the presence of uncertainty. Bayesian hierarchical modelling (BHM) and the construction of emulators embedded within this framework can provide the necessary framework for developing these models. You will be responsible for developing the BHM framework that will house these complex physical processes.

This position will allow you to build your research profile through publications and conference attendance.  It will also provide you with a range of opportunities and experiences to build your capacity as a researcher.  This includes working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, with university, industry and government collaborators to deliver project outcomes.  CSIRO provides postdoctoral fellows with a range of training courses including ones focused on scientific paper writing, project management and personal development.
