Research Fellow positions: Data-Assimilation

[Edit 28/02/2025: The positions have been filled. Thank you for your interest.]

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.
