PhD positions & Ada Lovelace Fellowships

The Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics is opening a PhD position in mathematical statistics, focusing on nonparametric regression modelling. The position covers four years of third-cycle studies, including participation in research and third-cycle courses. The last day to apply is May 14, 2023.

Project description and tasks:

What are the effects of climate change on the diversity of land birds? How many fur seals remain in Antarctica after breeding season? Do flies transmit the ‘bee’ parasite on flowers during defecation? Statistics is there to answer these big-scale and small-scale questions and to understand the world around us, each other and ourselves. When analyzing the relationships between a response and predictors, it might be natural to assume that some relationships obey certain shape constraints, such as monotonicity and convexity. 

Shape-constrained generalized additive models (SCAM) provide a general and powerful framework for nonparametric regression modelling with shape constraints, demonstrating their efficacy and practicality in numerous applications. The popularity of SCAMs lies in the attractive balance between applicability and interpretability. However, existing methods do not support models with large data sets, yet these are increasingly invaluable and important as technological advances across science and industry generate vast quantities of data. Moreover, efficient and robust computation is currently possible in the standard exponential family setting. 

The project aims to address these limitations by i) developing methods for fitting SCAM that can handle much larger data sets and more complex model structures than up to now been possible; ii) developing methods for models with response distribution beyond the standard cases; iii) developing open-source software that implements the new methods and meets the needs of scientific and industrial users within the relevant fields.

The project is partially funded by the Swedish Research Council.

Umeå offers excellent working and living conditions. The city is young and located right next to a large river. It is surrounded by forests and lakes and lies close by the sea. In the vicinity there are plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor activities.

Dorothea Schlözer Postdoctoral Programme for Female Postdocs 

We invite prospective candidates to apply for these positions, which will involve research related to one or more research groups of geometric analysis, inverse problems, geometric measure theory and harmonic analysis, as well as nonlinear partial differential equations. See the detailed descriptions of the research groups at our department's web page.

Strong preference will be given to candidates whose research interests overlap and/or complement the main research areas of the department. The Postdoctoral Researchers are expected to focus on scientific research, but also to participate in teaching within their own areas of expertise. The amount of teaching duties is rather small. 

The duties, qualification requirements and language skills of Postdoctoral Researchers are stipulated by the University of Jyväskylä Regulations and language skills guidelines. Teaching and research staff are required to master the language in which they teach. A good command of English is required and a proficiency to teach in English will be considered beneficial.

Postdoc

Selection of a postdoctoral fellow for the project “Combining network-automata and neural networks for data analysis” to be carried out at the Scientific Computing Group (prof. Odemir Bruno - www.ifsc.usp.br), São Carlos Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo (IFSC/USP), located in São Carlos-SP, Brazil, and at BIOSPACE (Prof. Jan Baetens, https://biospace.ugent.be), Faculty of Bioscience Engineering at Ghent University in Ghent, Belgium. It is mandatory to work in Brazil for at least one year, with the possibility of working up to two years, and it is recommended to work up to one year in Belgium, making the total postdoctoral fellowship duration up to three years.

This scientific proposal project comprises the areas of cellular automata, machine learning, and complex networks and their applications to data analysis and pattern recognition. The project aims to develop new tools to characterize and extract measures of complex networks using network-automata and neural network tools that embody the characteristics of the phenomena and data under study and reveal underlying behavior. Consequently, it is important to evaluate which are the most informative extractable measures. For that purpose, we will rely on pattern recognition tasks to identify the best descriptors. Specifically, the goals are: (i) to investigate and propose network-automata models to characterize the dynamic evolution of complex networks; (ii) to adapt and propose techniques based on neural network models to learn features from the complex networks and their dynamic evolution generated by network-automata, thus combining the two approaches.

The candidate must meet the following requirements:
• Experience in the areas of pattern recognition, image analysis, neural networks and complex networks;
• Outstanding academic and scientific performance, with scientific publications (in vehicles of recognized quality – indexed international journals) in the project's themes. At least 1 publication on complex networks or cellular automata, 1 publication on artificial neural networks and/or 1 publication combining both methodologies is required.

Interested candidates who meet the requirements should send the necessary documents for application to Prof. Dr. Odemir Bruno (email: bruno@ifsc.usp.br) with the subject  Postdoctoral Fellow FAPESP/FWO”:

1. Updated Curriculum Vitae, indicating training, scientific production, projects in which he participated;
2. Cover letter, with the motivation for the research and  highlighting your skills related to the project theme.
