Postdoctoral Positions for 2010-11

The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) is soliciting applications from statistical and mathematical scientists for up to seven postdoctoral positions, to begin in September, 2010. Appointments, at extremely competitive salaries, will typically be for two years and be made jointly between SAMSI and one of its Partners. Applicants should have received (or expect to complete) a doctorate in 2007 or later. Members of under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

SAMSI programs soliciting postdoctoral candidates for the year 2010-11:

Analysis of Object Data will focus on the analysis of complex data types that are an extension of functional data analysis. Modern science is generating a need to understand, and statistically analyze, populations of increasingly complex types, and this program will bring together a diverse group of researchers (from statistics, other parts of mathematics, and related sciences) to explore the underlying common structure of complex data, and to use this knowledge in turn to motivate and synthesize new approaches.

Complex Networks will focus on the emerging area of network science, an interdisciplinary field characterized by novel interactions at the interface of applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, and statistical physics, as well as those areas with network-oriented thrusts in biology, computer networks, engineering, and the social sciences. The program is built around four interconnected research foci: network modeling and inference, flows on networks, network models for disease transmission, and dynamics of networks.

Criteria for selection include demonstrated research ability in statistical and/or applied mathematical sciences, interest and (to a lesser degree) experience in the SAMSI program areas and vision, together with strength in computation, as well as in verbal and written communication.

The deadline for full consideration is January 15, 2010, although later applications will be considered as resources permit. Appointments may be made at any time.
