[Forum SIS] postdoc opportunity in Bern

[Fabio Bellini]

A postdoc search from Johanna Ziegel (University of Bern):

The Institute of Mathematical Statistics and Actuarial Sciences invites
applications for the following position opening February 1, 2020.

POSTDOC (80-100%)
Oeschger Centre, University of Bern

Compound weather and climate events refer to multiple climate events that
potentially cause large societal impacts. The analysis and prediction of
compound events pose substantial challenges from a statistical perspective.
The prospective PostDoc will work at the interface of the development of
statistical methods and their application to current topics of high
interest in climate and weather applications. Potential topics include the
evaluation of predictions for (joint) extreme events, the evaluation of
multivariate or spatial predictions, and the calibration (or
``bias-correction'') of multivariate predictions.
The PostDoc will be a part of the group of Prof. Dr. Johanna F. Ziegel
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics and Actuarial Science). Close
collaboration is planned with the group of Dr. Jakob Zscheischler (Physics
Institute), and with the group of Prof. Dr. Olivia Romppainen-Martius
(Institute of Geography).
The position is ideally suited for a young researcher in statistics to
become an expert in statistics for climate science and weather
applications.

Profile of the candidate
The successful candidate holds a PhD in Statistics and has a strong
interest in climate and weather applications, or he/she holds a PhD in
Climate Science with a solid background in statistics. She/he has excellent
programming and data handling skills, and a keen interest in
interdisciplinary research. The candidate is proficient in English, both
written and spoken.
