Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research fellow positions in the area of statistical inverse problems, with emphasis on the design and analysis of efficient algorithms. The post will have a two year duration and, ideally, will start at a mutually agreed date in the calendar year 2015.
The successful candidates will have expertise in at least some of the following areas: Bayesian statistics, computational statistics, functional data analysis, numerical analysis and statistical inverse problems; he/she will work under the direction of Professor Gareth Roberts or Professor Mark Girolami, and will also be expected to engage with the wider EQUIP research activity described below.
The position will be part of a project funded by a £2.6m EPSRC-funded Programme Grant EQUIP (Enabling Quantification of Uncertainty for Inverse Problems) (see http://www.warwick.ac.uk/equip/ ). The EQUIP team is led by Andrew Stuart (Mathematics, Warwick) and comprises Mike Christie (Petroleum Engineering, Heriot-Watt), Mark Girolami (Statistics, Warwick) and Gareth Roberts (Statistics, Warwick). EQUIP tackles a number of key challenges arising in the solution of statistical inverse problems, primarily driven by applications in subsurface inversion such as groundwater flow, oil and gas reservoirs and carbon sequestration.
Informal enquires can be addressed to Professors Gareth Roberts ([log in to unmask]) and Mark Girolami ([log in to unmask]). Further information can also be obtained from the following webpage: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/
Your application should include a CV and list of publications. You should also send a research statement by email to [log in to unmask] (Departmental Administrator, Statistics, University of Warwick) and ensure that your 3 referees send their references to the same email address by the closing date.
