> Postdoctoral Fellowship (c2.5-years) on the Research Fellow Scale:
> €33.5k-€40.8k (c£23.1k-c£28k), University of Limerick, Ireland.
>
> A specific purpose position, funded by Science Foundation Ireland is
> available to work jointly with the research groups of Professor
> Gilbert MacKenzie (University of Limerick) and Professor Jianxin Pan
> (University of Manchester), on developing joint mean-covariance models
> for longitudinal studies.
>
> The post is designed to accelerate the development of joint
> mean-covariance models in the class of mixed models and to make the
> resulting modelling technology accessible to the statistical modelling
> community. The project will develop a complete set of methods for the
> linear mixed model (LMM) before moving into more general GLMM and HGLM
> settings.
>
> Applicants will have a doctorate and an emerging research publication
> track. In addition, a strong background in modern statistical methods,
> statistical modelling, preferably in mixed models, and good
> computational skills in R and Fortran or C or C++, are expected. Good
> interpersonal skills and effective project management skills are also
> desirable. The proposed starting date for the post is November 1^st or
> earlier if possible.
>
> The recently created Centre of Biostatistics in the Department of
> Mathematics and Statistics, University of Limerick, offers a pleasant
> working environment (www.ul.ie <http://www.ul.ie/>). It is expected
> that the successful candidate will be based in Limerick but will
> travel regularly to Professor Jianxin Pan’s laboratory in Manchester
