Please find below a short description of Statistics and Probability
within the Department of Mathematical Sciences with links to two
open positions, one of a full professor, the other of an associate
professor in Gothenburg.
Applications for the positions should be sent to the relevant
Registrar of the universities, see the addresses listed under,
www.chalmers.se/math/EN/ .
If you look for information in addition to the one in the adverstisements,
please contact me or collegues in the department, e.g. Professors Peter
Jagers ([log in to unmask]), Olle Nerman ([log in to unmask]), Holger
Rootzen ([log in to unmask]), or the Department Head, Bo Johansson
([log in to unmask]).
If you know someone interested, please pass this mail on and, if possible,
also advertise the open positions in your environment.
Thanks,
Nanny Wermuth
===============================================================
Full Professor and Associate Professor in Mathematical Statistics
CHALMERS announces a position of FULL PROFESSOR in Mathematical Statistics,
which in Sweden also includes theoretical and applied probability and the
UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG announces a position of ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR in
Mathematical Statistics, in particular in Statistical Inference, see:
http://www.chalmers.se/math/EN/ . Applications must be received no later
than 22nd May, 2008.
THE DEPARTMENT. The positions are both tied to the stochastics group at the
Department of Mathematical Sciences, which serves Chalmers University of
Technology and the University of Gothenburg. It consists of approximately
25 researchers/teachers (including 12 professors), and about the same
number of graduate students. The group typically has several guest
postdocs, attracts many international visitors for shorter or longer
periods, and arranges 2-4 international workshops every year. The
atmosphere at the department is open, friendly and international.
RESEARCH CENTRES. The group is host to the Stochastic Centre, a centre for
basic research funded by the Swedish Research Council as a ғtrong
Research
EnvironmentӍ(http://www.chalmers.se/math/EN/research/stochastic-centre),
and GMMC, the
Gothenburg Mathematical Modeling Centre, which is aimed at research leading
to practical use in a 5-10 year timespan
(http://www.chalmers.se/math/EN/research/gmmc). In addition to
Stochastics, GMMC includes research groups in Optimization, Numerics, and
Quality Science. The group cooperates closely with the Fraunhofer-Chalmers
Research Centre for Industrial Mathematics and with many departments in
Gothenburg and from all around the globe, and with local and international
industry. The group is responsible for undergraduate teaching, directs a
masters program in mathematical biology and is part of a masters program in
mathematics. Teaching responsibilities also include graduate courses for
our PhD students and for PhD students from other departments, and service
courses for the medical faculty and for industry.
CURRENT RESEARCH. Our research covers the entire span from basic theory to
projects in cooperation with industry. We are open to starting research in
new areas. At present some main directions are
Markov Processes: A short list of areas: Markov Random Fields, Coupling,
Branching Processes, Rate of Convergence to Equilibrium, and
Spatio-Temporal Point Process Models.
Discrete Probability: We work broadly on topics such as Percolation,
Interacting Particle Systems, Large Complex Networks and Probabilistic
Analysis of Algorithms.
Risk and Reliability: Major areas are Statistical Extreme Value Methods,
Material Fatigue, Mechanical Reliability, Ocean Engineering, and Financial
Risk Management.
Biomathematics: Our work in this area is in close cooperation with
biologists, and includes Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, Theoretical
Biology, and Biological Image processing.
Statistical theory and methods: Graphical Markov Models, Methods for
Longitudinal Studies, Multivariate Analysis, Applied Bayesian Analysis.
CONDITIONS. The positions are permanent and offer very flexible working
conditions, much independence, good possibilities for general support, for
international travel of guest researchers, and for arranging workshops.
