TWO POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATES
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral Research Associate (RA)
positions at the University of Sheffield. The successful applicants will be
based in the Department of Probability and Statistics, as members of the
Centre for Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics (CTCD). CTCD is a
multidisciplinary research centre whose principal objective is to increase
understanding of the role that plants, particularly trees, play in the carbon
cycle through the use of models and data, particularly satellite observations.
The role of the two RAs will be to develop and apply statistical methods for
quantifying the uncertainty in the model predictions, and for assimilating the
data to reduce uncertainty. Further information about CTCD can be found
at <www.shef.ac.uk/ctcd>, and more details about the statistical methods
involved in this research can be obtained from
<http://www.shef.ac.uk/pas/research/clusters/bayesian/compmodels.html>.
Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Tony O'Hagan
([log in to unmask], telephone 0114 222 3773).
These posts are fixed-term appointments, from 1 June 2006 (or by
arrangement at a later date) to 31 September 2007. Salary will be on the
University of Sheffield scale 7, from £23,457 to £25,633.
For further particulars of the posts, and to make applications online, see
