Bayesian Model Assessment for Stochastic Epidemic Models
Applications are invited for the above post in the School of Mathematical Sciences. The successful candidate will work with Professor Philip O'Neill on an EPSRC-funded project concerned with the development and application of methods of Bayesian model assessment specific to stochastic epidemic models.
Candidates must have (or expect to obtain prior to taking up the post) a PhD in statistics or applied probability, or a closely related area. Research experience involving Markov chain Monte Carlo methods is desirable, and good computer programming skills are essential. This post requires candidates to be able to work independently, and as part of a team, to be flexible and to have good communication and interpersonal skills.
Salary will be within the range £22,332 - £32,796 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience (salary can progress to £35,837 per annum, subject to performance) - (£24,403 maximum without PhD).
