Senior Lecturer / Reader in Statistics and Climate Impacts. Durham University
We are seeking 4 posts in Climate Impacts Research as part of Durham University’s Strategic Investment Programme. These posts will be linked to the new Climate Impact Research Centre (CIRC) which aims to generate world leading research that makes a significant contribution to knowledge of climate impacts and can influence policy and practice. As well as leading theoretically and methodologically innovative research, the work of the Centre will engage closely with non-academic partners to build a community of research and practice. CIRC will undertake research on the past, present and future impacts of climate change. Climate change is widely recognised as one of the leading Global Challenges and CIRC aims to consolidate and extend current climate impacts research strengths across the University and build research capacity. The Centre will co-ordinate Durham’s climate impact work and provide a clearer route for exchange between researchers and other climate impact stakeholders, both in the UK and internationally.

Efficient data assimilation to correct non-Gaussian forecast errors in numerical weather predictionUniversity of Exeter Ref: 1203
Location: Streatham Campus, University of Exeter, EX4 4QJ
Primary supervisor: Dr Frank Kwasniok, University of Exeter
Secondary supervisor: Dr Gordon I nverarity, Met Office, Exeter
Data assimilation algorithms such as three- and four-dimensional variational data assimilation (3D- and 4D-Var, respectively) perform a least-squares minimisation of a cost function that includes terms penalising the forecast error at the start of a window containing observations to be assimilated and the combined observation and representation error for each observation. A key assumption is that the forecast errors to be corrected are Gaussian.

Postdoctoral Fellow in Statistical Genetics.Harvard School of Public Health
Duties & Responsibilities:
The statistical genetics research group of Dr. Liming Liang at Harvard
School of Public Health invites applicants to a 2-3 year Postdoctoral
Fellow position emphasizing the statistical designs and analysis of
genome-wide studies for human complex diseases and traits. Our group
focuses on (1) Analysis of gene expression and methylation data,
particular eQTL/meQTL mapping using both microarray and sequencing data,
gene expression/methylation network estimation and its association with
disease and trait of interest. (2) New statistical approaches for the
analysis of next-generation sequencing data. Ongoing projects include
high depth sequencing on ~4000 breast cancer case-control subjects from
multiple populations. The goals include fine mapping causal loci
responsible for breast cancer risk and developing optimal design for
next-generation sequencing studies. (3) New statistical framework to
maximize the utility of multiple related phenotypes and elucidate how
genetic and epigenetic variants and their interaction with environmental
factors involve in pathogenesis of complex diseases and traits. (4)
Statistical model to integrate genome-wide eQTL/meQTL data with
genome-wide association studies. The fellows will work closely with Dr.
Liang, with other quantitative Ph.D’s in his group, and with
collaborators at HSPH, HMS and The Broad Institute. Fellows will be
