Applications are invited for several (5) Postdoctoral Research Associate positions in Network Data Science, Statistics and Probability to work on an EPSRC-funded programme on Network Stochastic Processes and Time Series (NeST). NeST brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Imperial College London, the London School of Economics and Political Science, Oxford and York, with industrial and government partners BT, EDF, the GCHQ, the Office for National Statistics, Microsoft, Royal Mail, Securonix and FNA. Stochastic network data are of rapidly increasing ubiquity in many fields such as medicine, transportation, cybersecurity, the environment, finance, biology and economics, and NeST aims to achieve a step change in the modelling and prediction of evolving, inter-connected stochastic network processes.

As part of the NeST team, you will contribute to realising a substantial coordinated push to create, develop and apply innovative new models, computational techniques and underpinning theory, in response to real applied problems spurred by dynamic networks in many contexts.

For the role advertised at the University of York, initially you will be attached to two research projects and be line managed in the Department of Mathematics by Prof. Marina Knight. As part of the NeST team, you will have access to, and potential opportunities to work with a larger team consisting of academics (Ed Cohen, Nick Heard, Guy Nason, Matt Nunes, Gesine Reinert, Patrick Rubin-Delanchy, Almut Veraart and Qiwei Yao) collectively covering a wide range of research in NeST areas. (See Job Description for project details and role responsibilities and requirements.) While there is a clear expectation of collaboration for the Postdoctoral Research Associates across projects and universities, please do indicate clearly in your application cover letter the institutions for which you would like to be considered, including your preferred choice. The available institutions for this round are Bath, Imperial College London and York. If you are interested in more than one project at more than one location, then please apply to every project/institution that you are interested in using the links found at https://www.ma.imperial.ac.uk/~gnason/nest.html Since each position will contribute to the global success of the NeST programme, we will share the applications across the hiring institutions. For informal enquiries for the role at York: please contact Prof. Marina Knight by email marina.knight@york.ac.uk Further information

The position is full-time, initially for 24 months. The successful candidate is expected to take up the position as soon as possible, but ideally before October 2023 for the right candidate.

The salary is on the University of York Grade 6 for the Research Associate position. All applicants with a relevant background and research skills are eligible to apply.

Please apply by completing the online application associated to this advert.

Closing date: 7th May 2023.
