It is expected that the candidate will be highly qualified for further academic or industry jobs at the end of the contract.
Candidates must meet the following criteria:
- PhD in Statistics or Machine Learning;
- Experience in one or more of: multivariate analysis, clustering, geospatial statistical modelling;
- Experience with programming languages R or Python;
