> *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 Professor 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 1st 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). It is expected that the
> successful candidate will be based in Limerick but will travel
> regularly to Professor Jianxin Pan’s laboratory in Manchester and
> spend time there.

> Informal enquiries should be directed to [log in to unmask]

> vitae and a list of publications together with the names, addresses,
> telephone, fax and e-mail details of three referees (please use the
> HR academic posts application form downloadable from:
> http://www.ul.ie/hrvacancies/). Applications (electronic preferred)
> should be submitted to Prof. Gilbert MacKenzie in the first instance.
>
> The closing date for applications is October 14th , 2007.
