UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK
Department of Statistics
RESEARCH FELLOW
Fixed Term Contract for 3 years
You will be a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of
Statistics at the University of Warwick, working with Professor
Jim Smith, Professor Elizabeth Dowler and Dr Rosemary Collier on
the EPSRC funded project “Coherent inference over a network of
probabilistic systems for decision support with applications to
food security”. This project explores how and when a collection
of probabilistic expert systems, such as Bayesian networks, can
be coupled together so that their outputs give defensible,
consistently probabilistic support. The methods will be trialed
against decision support systems used to advise policy on issues
associated with food security.
You must have a good mathematical background, hold or be near
completion of a PhD in Statistics or machine learning or related
discipline. An ability to engage with non-mathematical domain
experts is essential. You will have demonstrated potential
excellence in research and an emerging track record of
publications in high quality, peer reviewed journals.
