[Statlist] PhD Position at TUD

[Dorota Kurowicka - EWI]

Dear StochNed members,



In the project  'Decision making with alternative data sources' funded by Delft University of Technology, there is a job opening for a PhD student. The project is aimed at building models that use the dependence between the variables of interest and publically available data to enrich an early warning systems with easier accessible information and will be supervised by Dr.D.Kurowicka and  prof. dr. ir. G. Jongbloed<http://dutiosc.twi.tudelft.nl/~geurt> (Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics<http://www.ewi.tudelft.nl/en/the-faculty/departments/applied-mathematics/?amp%25252525253BL=1>) both at TU Delft. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with CapGemini.



Tasks

The PhD student in statistics will perform research in the area of applied statistics, focusing on stochastic modeling, model selection and inverse problems in the context of materials science. In particular, (s)he will work on modeling the relationship between microstructural properties of steel and its mechanical properties. State of the art data acquisition techniques and physical models will be used to this end. For the materials science part, another PhD student will be recruited. With this student,  there will be intensive contact.

The PhD student will present his/her  results at high-quality relevant conferences and publish them in quality peer-reviewed journals in the field, culminating in a PhD thesis to be defended in public.



Requirements

The candidate must be talented, ambitious and highly motivated, in possession of an MSc degree in mathematics, physics, computer science (specialized in machine learning) or another relevant area. Candidates should have a strong interest in statistical methodology and physical applications. In addition, we require proficiency in reading and writing scientific papers in English.
