Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral position in Statistics at
the Department of Statistical Science, University College London.
The Research Associate will work on the EPSRC funded project: “Advanced
Stochastic Computation for Inference from Tree, Graph and Network
Models”, led by Dr Maria De Iorio in collaboration with Dr Alexandros
Beskos, Professor David Balding (UCL Genetics Institute) and Associate
Professor Ajay Jasra (Department of Statistics and Applied Probability,
National University of Singapore). The main objective of the project is
to develop and characterise principled approximations to complex
statistical models and hence to facilitate their implementation in real
data applications. The post is available from September 2013 and is
initially funded for 36 months.
Candidates should hold or be close to submitting a PhD in Statistics (or
equivalent qualification). It is essential that the successful candidate
has previous experience of Bayesian methods, experience of programming
simulation algorithms and excellent communication skills. If the
successful candidate has not yet been awarded their PhD, the appointment
will initially be made as Research Assistant on Grade 6 of the UCL
salary scale (£28,338 - £29,881 per annum inclusive of London
Allowance), and the appointee will be regraded to Research Associate on
completion of the PhD.
