The Department of Statistical Sciences (www.stat.unipd.it) of the
University of Padova (www.unipd.it) invites applications for a
Post-doctoral research fellowship within the STARS@Unipd GRANT “Bayesian
Nonparametrics for complex data” (bnp4cd.stat.unipd.it)
PROJECT, HOST INSTITUTION, AND PI
The project aims at investigating new approaches and introducing novel
methodologies for modelling high complexity data which arise in many
modern applied contexts by means of Bayesian nonparametric and
semiparametric tools. Concrete examples of the foreseen applications are
given by gene expression studies, brain connectivity studies, and human
fertility studies, among others. The expected methodological innovations
will be tailored to classes of problems rather than isolated examples,
aiming at having an impact on different application domains with similar
data structure. The intertwining between theory and applications will be
the major feature of the project.
The project is based at the Department of Statistical Sciences
(stat.unipd.it) of the University of Padova, one of the Italian oldest
and most renewed universities. The project’s principal investigator is
Antonio Canale.
CONTRACT DETAILS
15 months-year contract, starting on January 1st, 2019. The salary is
competitive with other European Research Universities and comparable to
that of an Italian assistant professor (rtd-a). Additional funding for
research travels and start-up expenses is provided.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE AND DEADLINE
Applications should be submitted online. The closing date is September,
19th at 14:00 (CET). For enquiries please send an email to
bnp4cd@stat.unipd.it or visit bnp4cd.stat.unipd.it
