| Postdoctoral fellowships are available (up to 7), associated with individual SAMSI programs, with appointments beginning in September 2010. Appointments will typically be for two years and be made jointly between SAMSI and one of its partner universities, where teaching is a possibility. Extremely competitive salaries, travel stipend, and health insurance will be offered.
The 2010-11 program in Analysis of Object Data (AOOD) 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. Please see http://www.samsi.info/programs/2010aoodprogram.shtml for full details. 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 1, 2010, although later applications will be considered as resources permit. Appointments may be made at any time. |
