Post-doc to work on developing Bayesian workflow at Aalto university
Aalto University
Postdoc position to work on developing theory, methods and tools for Bayesian workflow in highly collaborative environment
Using Bayesian inference to solve real-world problems requires not only statistical skills, subject matter knowledge, and programming, but also awareness of the decisions made in the process of data analysis. All of these aspects can be understood as part of a tangled workflow of applied Bayesian statistics. Beyond inference, the workflow also includes, for example, iterative model building, model checking, validation and troubleshooting of computational problems, model understanding, and model comparison. Related Bayesian workflow paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.01808 and video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppKpwtGy8KQ.
Flexible starting time and contract length (1-3 years). Decent salary, great research community. Helsinki is in the top-10 most liveable cities, and Finland is the world's happiest country. Possibility to spend time with collaborators in New York, Melbourne, or Stuttgart.
