Re-advertisement - Extending Closing Date and varying terms slightly
> *Optimal Selection of Joint Mean-Covariance Structures in Mixed Models***
>
> *(Specific Purpose Contract)*
>
> Postdoctoral Fellowship (c2.5-years) on the Research Fellow Scale:
> €33.5k-€37.5k (c£23k-c£26k), University of Limerick, Limerick,
> Ireland. The term of 2.5 years is contingent on the project obtaining
> a 6-month no-additional-cost extension from SFI.
>
> A specific purpose position, funded by Science Foundation Ireland is
> available to work jointly with the research groups of Professor
> Gilbert MacKenzie (University of Limerick) and Dr Jianxin Pan
> (University of Manchester), on developing joint mean-covariance models
> for longitudinal studies.
>
> The post is designed to accelerate the development of joint
> mean-covariance models in the class of mixed models and to make the
> resulting modelling technology accessible to the statistical modelling
> community. The project will develop a complete set of methods for the
> linear mixed model (LMM) before moving into more general GLMM and HGLM
> settings. Applicants will have a doctorate and an emerging research
> publication track. In addition, a strong background in modern
> statistical methods, statistical modelling, preferably in mixed
> models, and good computational skills in R and Fortran or C or C++,
> are expected. Good interpersonal skills and effective project
> management skills are also desirable. The start date for the post is
> nominally November 1^st but a later start may be agreed. The newly
> created Centre of Biostatistics in the Department of Mathematics and
> Statistics, University of Limerick, affords a pleasant working
> environment (www.ul.ie <http://www.ul.ie/>). It is expected that the
> successful candidate will be based in Limerick but will travel
> regularly to Dr. Jianxin Pan’s laboratory in Manchester and spend time
> there.
