<span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">We are seeking outstanding postdoctoral candidates with a strong interdisciplinary background across statistics, machine learning, finance, and economics. Potential projects include: (A) modelling and
analysis of high-frequency financial data; (B) developing models for high-dimensional time-series data; (C) methods to improve information flow for sequential decision making; (D) modelling high-dimensional, dynamic financial networks; (E) causal inference
and design of experiments in dynamic systems (i.e., leveraging reinforcement learning and bandits); (F) causal inference with strategic agents (i.e., leveraging game theory and strategic network formation models). The ideal project develops a new quantitative
approach and applies it to an important problem. Areas of special interest include financial and economic data; dynamic models, latent factor models, network models, ensemble methods, causal inference, design of experiments, sequential decision making.
