2011 CSIRO Post-Doctoral Fellowships for Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics

[MyInfoStride]

[attachimg=1 align=left] Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Mathematics Informatics and Statistics is seeking to appoint a highly motivated OCE Post-Doctoral Fellow who will undertake statistical research to significantly improve the ability to predict outcomes in key environmental problems such as climate change, biosecurity and aquatic ecosystem health.  It will consider the generation of covariates based on knowledge (typically incomplete) of the functional form of good predictors suggested by theory and domain knowledge. The approach will consider generating large numbers of plausible covariates and developing approaches to screening them, building on recent developments in other fields.

You will work with a successful team of statisticians and environmental scientists at CSIRO and ANU and apply your research to help understand and solve critical environmental problems.

Postdoctoral Fellowships at CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics offer PhD graduates the opportunity to work with leaders in the field of mathematical and information sciences.
