POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN COMPUTATIONAL AND SPATIAL STATISTICS
Applications are invited for at least seven postdoctoral fellowships in
Computational and Spatial Statistics, funded by the TMR programme of
the European Union. They form part of a scheme to support young researchers
in a group of European universities participating in the network in
Statistical and Computational Methods for the Analysis of Spatial Data. The
lengths and dates of appointments are flexible, but it is anticipated that
each fellowship will last for between six months and two years. This will
be the second wave of appointments, and the researchers appointed will
normally be expected to start any time in 1999. Fellowships will be
tenable within the participating research teams, headed by the listed
coordinators, of the following institutions:
Lancaster, UK (Peter Diggle, e-mail [log in to unmask])
Cambridge, UK (Alastair Young, e-mail [log in to unmask])
Aalborg, Denmark (Jesper Moller, e-mail [log in to unmask])
Oslo, Norway (Arnoldo Frigessi, e-mail [log in to unmask])
Paris, France (Christian Robert, e-mail [log in to unmask])
Gothenburg, Sweden (Holger Rootzen, e-mail [log in to unmask])
Athens, Greece (Petros Dellaportas, e-mail [log in to unmask])
Positions are available at any of these nodes or
associated institutions, including Rome (Italy), Pavia (Italy), and Warwick
(UK). Information on the scientific content of the project can be found
on the home page
http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~schlathe/
of the network. General scientific enquiries regarding these positions should
be made to the network co-ordinator,
Gareth Roberts (Lancaster, UK, e-mail [log in to unmask])
and specific information can be obtained from the scientists named above.
Research areas of the network include: stochastic geometry and spatial
models, modelling of non-Gaussian spatial and spatio-temporal data,
analysis of latent statistical models, Markov chain Monte Carlo
algorithms, and models for extremes of spatial data.
Applications, in triplicate, for the positions should be sent to
Cathy Thompson
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Lancaster University
Lancaster
LA1 4YF, UK
Fax +44 1524 59 2681
including full curriculum vitae with age and nationality, list of
publications, and a short account of research interests and achievements; it
should also include the names and addresses of two academic referees.
Applicants with preferences for a particular node or nodes should indicate
this on their application, and should send further individual copies of their
application to the scientist in charge at the institution or institutions
where they would like to hold the appointment. However, indication of a
preference is not essential. Applicants should ask their referees to write
directly to Professor Roberts as soon as possible.
The primary closing date for applications is 1 April 1999.
though applications and enquiries will be welcome at any time, since
recruitment is being carried out continually throughout the three years of
the network programme.
Applicants must come from a member state of the European Union or an
Associated State (Iceland, Liechtenstein Norway or Israel). It is expected
that those appointed will hold a recent PhD in statistics or a relevant area
of mathematics. Further information and details of eligibility are provided
at the main web-site of the network.
