PhD and Postdoctoral opportunities in Bayesian statistics at the Univ. of
Florida

Dr. Denis Valle, Assistant Professor in the School of Forest Resources and
Conservation at the University of Florida (UF), is now accepting
applications for a PhD Graduate Research Assistantship and a Postdoctoral
position. Research in my group focuses on tackling important problems in
environmental sciences and public health by creating and using innovative
Bayesian statistical models. Additional information on my research can be
found here.

The position will focus on the development and application of novel
multivariate Bayesian methods to understand how anthropogenic drivers alter
biodiversity patterns. This NSF funded project offers a unique opportunity
to work with a highly interdisciplinary team that includes a Community
Ecologist, applied Bayesian Statistician, Computational Phylogeneticist,
and Computer Scientist.
The position will be located at the UF campus in Gainesville, FL. Duties
include writing and presenting result of research in scientific
conferences, searching and applying for additional sources of funding, and
assisting other students within the team on statistical analyses, among
others.

We expect applicants to be highly motivated, independent, enthusiastic,
proficient in computer programming (e.g., R, MatLab, C++) and able to
successful communicate research results (i.e., through publications and
oral presentations).

Requirements for prospective postdocs:
Strong background on environmental sciences with experience in programming
customized Bayesian models; or
strong background in statistics with interest on environmental science.
Requirements for prospective PhD students:

background on environmental sciences with experience in (or desire to
learn) advanced statistical Bayesian models; or
background in statistics with experience in (or desire to learn)
environmental sciences;
GRE minimum scores of 153 Verbal; 155 Quantitative; Analytical/writing 4
(500/700 old scoring scale)
MS degree with GPA exceeding 3.5
