[Forum SIS] JOB: Postdoc on Bayesian Nonparametrics, University of Padova, Italy

[canale]

The Department of Statistical Sciences (www.stat.unipd.it) of the 
University of Padova (www.unipd.it) invites applications for a 
Post-doctoral research fellowship within the STARS a Unipd GRANT "Bayesian 
Nonparametrics for complex data" (bnp4cd.stat.unipd.it)

PROJECT, HOST INSTITUTION, AND PI

The project aims at investigating new approaches and introducing novel 
methodologies for modelling high complexity data which arise in many 
modern applied contexts by means of Bayesian nonparametric and 
semiparametric tools. Concrete examples of the foreseen applications are 
given by gene expression studies, brain connectivity studies, and human 
fertility studies, among others. The expected methodological innovations 
will be tailored to classes of problems rather than isolated examples, 
aiming at having an impact on different application domains with similar 
data structure. The intertwining between theory and applications will be 
the major feature of the project.

The project is based at the Department of Statistical Sciences 
(stat.unipd.it) of the University of Padova, one of the Italian oldest 
and most renewed universities. The project's principal investigator is 
Antonio Canale.

CONTRACT DETAILS

15 months-year contract, starting on January 1st, 2019. The salary is 
competitive with other European Research Universities and comparable to 
that of an Italian assistant professor (rtd-a). Additional funding for 
research travels and start-up expenses is provided.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE AND DEADLINE

Applications should be submitted online. The closing date is September, 
19th at 14:00 (CET). For enquiries please send an email to
