I'm hiring a 3 year post-doc. It's well paid. I care more about mad skills
and less about long publication lists. You can be from anywhere in the
world and from any field. Drop me an email if you have any questions. This
role would be ideal for someone wanting to transition to a career in Data
Science or who wants to write papers that employ data science / stats
skills.
