See http://www.acems.org.aufor further info. 

About you

 

The appointees will undertake collaborative and self-directed research on methods for the analysis of large and complex datasets, and their application. Methodological development is expected to be wide ranging, but will involve techniques such as symbolic data analysis, methods for computationally intractable likelihood functions (such as pseudo-marginal methods, approximate Bayesian computation andsynthetic likelihoods), variational Bayes and non-parametric methods. Applications will include (but are not limited to) large panel datasets, satellite imagery and complex and non-standard ecological and environmental datasets, and evidence accumulation models for decision making in psychology and business.

 

To be successful in these roles, you should have

 
* PhD in Statistics or equivalent subject, with strong computational or methodological component
* Strong computer programming skills in e.g. R, Python, Matlab, C++, etc
* Excellent oral and written communication skills
