--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Tenure track positions in Mathematical Statistics as Assistant/Associate professor
University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands) - Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you a mathematical statistician who is passionate about scientific research and education and enjoys participating in multi-disciplinary projects? At the Statistics group of the Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics (KdVI), the mathematical research institute of the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, we are looking for new colleagues with expertise in mathematical statistics or mathematical data science, including (but not restricted to) computational statistics, statistical learning, and statistical data science. The position comes with a start-up package consisting of one PhD student and a travel budget. The Korteweg-de Vries Institute strives for a better gender balance in its staff. We therefore strongly encourage women to apply for this position. Application deadline: December 1, 2019 Information ----------- The Statistics group aims to develop new statistical theory and methodology, including their rigorous justification. The research covers various aspects of mathematical statistics, including parametric and non-parametric methods, as well as methods based on Bayesian principles. This ranges from theoretical work on the performance and design of procedures in high-dimensional models to more applied work in areas such as forensic statistics, the life sciences and finance. In addition, emerging techniques from machine learning research are evaluated, to shed light on their opportunities and limitations. Another recent research focus of the group is the design and study of statistical methods for the estimation of causal models from data and their use in predicting the results of interventions on systems. The Statistics group will be headed by dr. Joris Mooij. The Statistics group is part of the larger Stochastics programme, which also contains the Probability group, headed by Prof. Michel Mandjes. Within the science faculty there are interesting related groups. In particular, in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning there are closely related activities within the Computer Science department (IvI) and the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC). An interesting development is the recent launch of the Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI), which promotes public-private partnerships in the general area of AI.
