Postdoctoral Research Associates in Statistics (Fixed Term)

Closing date: 
Friday, 16 December 2022

Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics

Applications are invited for two Research Associate positions available in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics to work in the area of Statistics. Funding for these posts will come from Professor Richard Samworth's European Research Council Advanced Grant, entitled 'Robust statistical methodology and theory for large-scale data'. This programme of research recognises that in the Big Data era, the complexities of data structures and the phenomena we seek to study through data make it increasingly hard to feel confident in simple, traditional statistical models. We should therefore seek procedures that are robust, by which we mean that our procedures should perform well with respect to as wide a class of data generating mechanisms as possible.
