Job Details
This position is responsible for the statistical framework that combines a wide range of data sets, including both ground-based and satellite, and simulations from physical models, into sea level rise assessments. Applicants need to be familiar with modern practice in large-scale spatial statistics such as the SPDE approach to Gaussian Markov Random Fields, or the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation approach, implemented in R.
The University of Bristol has world-class expertise in both sea level research and computational statistics. This position is a unique opportunity for an early career statistician to develop theory and practice at the cutting edge of modern statistics, and to contribute to a complex but crucial scientific question.
Interviews are likely to be held at the end of October, and the expected start date is January 2019. Informal enquires are welcome.
