The position will focus on statistical modeling and method development for complex multivariate data and building scalable computational algorithms. One research area of particular interest involves developing models and methods for high-dimensional compositional data arising from microbiome sequencing experiments. Another research area involve developing nonparametric models and theory for inference on latent structures and characterizing cross-sample variability in multivariate data. The candidate may work in one or both areas depending on their strength and interest. There will also be opportunities for collaboration with biomedical experts.

Strong background in Bayesian modeling/inference, computing, a genuine interest in tackling practical data analytical challenges in biomedical applications are all considered a plus.

Interested parties should submit a cover letter describing their interests and experiences with regard to this position along with a CV and three references in Academic Jobs Online (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/18694).
