We are looking for a full-time research assistant for the period Oct. 1,
2005 – Sept. 30, 2009 to conduct research in statistics. This research
should lead to obtaining a Ph.D. degree. (The starting date can possible
be postponed until Jan 1, 2006 at the latest.)
Possible research topics include a study of model selection methods, in
particular for missing data problems; some topics within the area of
nonparametric statistics, for example studying smoothing methods such as
pen. regression splines, or lack of fit testing,... (depending on the
interest of the candidate).
You will find a dynamic and pleasant working environment, in a group
which tries to conduct research at the highest international level, in
the oldest university of the Low Countries (funded 1425), located in the
historical and exciting city Leuven.
Candidates should have a strong interest in statistics or econometrics,
and preferably have a background as Master of Science in Statistics,
Mathematics, Applied Economics, Business Engineering, Economics, Civil
Engineering or Computer Science. An average yearly result of
"distinction" during the university education is required, as is a
