**********************************************************
The London School of Economics Department of Statistics is looking for a
research assistant. The initial appointment will be for 10 months starting
February 1, 2001. The successful candidate will research on a project which
addresses nonlinear dynamics in space and time of highly variable
populations. With the aid of the latest statistical methodology in nonlinear
time series analysis, the project will build stochastic dynamical models for
biological data by integrating the theory of population dynamics with the
practice of statistical modelling. The project develops new basic
understanding on nonlinear biological systems and develops generic modelling
of abundance data originating from nonlinear biological processes with the
aims of improving successful population prediction, resource management and
pest control.
The project is funded by the BBSRC. The post-holder will work with
Professor Howell Tong and Dr Qiwei Yao. A strong background in data
analysis, statistical modelling and good programming skills are expected.
Appointment on this scale to be made according to age and experience.
Applications should consist of three copies of your CV and a covering letter
with the names of two academic references and should be sent to:
Personnel, LSE, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE
