Two Postdoctoral Research Fellow positions are currently open in the Department of Statistics & Data Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS). These are two-year contracts, with the possibility of renewal upon review.

While the research themes are flexible, our primary interest lies in the design and analysis of statistical methods for data-assimilation of high-dimensional time-series data. We anticipate applying tools from reinforcement learning, Koopman operators, and unsupervised representation learning, supplementing the more conventional techniques in state-space modeling (particle filters, EnKF, variational approaches, etc…)

Details:

  • Start Date: Immediate
  • Duration: 2 years (Renewable for up to an additional year)
  • Salary Range: S$ 70k-100k / Year, plus benefits (Health Insurance / etc…)
  • Travel: Generous budget for attending conferences

Requirements:

Ideal candidates should have:

  • a Ph.D. in Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, or a closely related field.
  • strong experience in Python programming.
  • experience with at least one deep-learning framework
  • a demonstrated record of academic publications
  • research experience that aligns with the core focus of the research programme.
