Position Description

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Boston University invites applications for a postdoctoral associate appointment.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and applicants are encouraged to apply before December 15, 2022.

This position will mainly be in collaboration with Professor Konstantinos Spiliopoulos (http://math.bu.edu/people/kspiliop/). The postdoctoral associate will engage in mathematical research in the general areas of probability, stochastic processes, stochastic analysis, stochastic dynamics, machine learning, and optimization.

The postdoctoral associate will have the opportunity to work in a strong, friendly, and dynamic environment at Boston University and interact with scholars and scientists in applied mathematics, dynamical systems, mathematical biology, neuroscience, optimization, probability, stochastic processes, statistics as well as computer science, data science, and engineering. In addition, the postdoctoral associate will be able to assist in training and development (running workshops, giving presentations, supervising students) and disseminate research results through talks, conference publications and journal articles. Teaching in the department of Mathematics and Statistics is possible, pending administrative approval, if so desired.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in mathematics, mathematical statistics, statistics, or related field with a research background in probability, stochastic processes, applied mathematics, statistical learning, or related fields. Computer programming experience is a plus, but not required.

Pending final administrative and budgetary approval, the appointment start date is July 1, 2023, for two years. A third year may be possible depending on future availability of funding.

Please apply through mathjobs.org with your cover letter, research statement, CV, and three reference letters.
