Overview

As part of its newly awarded VIGRE program, Stanford's Statistics department invites applications for three VIGRE postdoctoral associate positions. The appointments are for three year term but can be shorter by mutual agreement. Strong candiates whose research interests are in Financial Mathematics, Computational Biology or Information Sciences are sought. Researchers from allied fields such as econometrics, stochastic processes, computational learning, genetics, molecular biology, signal/image processing, network inference and data mining, are encouraged to apply.

The positions are for US citizens, nationals, or permanent residents who received their PhD degree in a related field (Biology, Mathematics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science) within 18 months of the start of their appointment. In addition to an exciting research environment with ample opportunities to develop inter-disciplinary interfaces with Stanford's Financial Mathematics program, Stanford's Bio-X and Biology departments and the Engineering school, the postdoctoral associates will participate in outreach and teaching initiatives in and outside of the classroom, and will have the opportunity to organize seminars, create new courses, and mentor student activities in their areas of research.

Applicants are requested to send research and teaching statements, curriculum vita, graduate transcripts, and at most one reprint/preprint to:

VIGRE Postdoctoral Search Committee
