Postdoc and doctoral student positions in Bayesian workflow at Aalto, Finland

Jobs
1

I’m looking for postdocs and doctoral students to work on Bayesian workflow. The candidates need to have knowledge of Bayesian inference and some experience with building models (for real applications, as part of methods development, or as part of courses). Although we have published Bayesian workflow book, there is still a lot more to do. The focus in the group is in cross-validation, model checking and inference diagnostics (see my publication list).

All positions are fully funded and the salaries at Aalto CS are 53k€-55k€ / year for postdocs and 40k€-45k€ / year for doctoral students. There are occupational healthcare and other benefits. Postdoc positions are typically offered for up to three years and doctoral student positions for four years. Starting dates are flexible and the details of each position will be agreed individually.

You can apply via joint ELLIS Institute Finland call and pick me as your preferred supervisor.

Having spent several years in Aki’s Bayesian Workflow group, I can highly recommend it! If you want to develop the methods and software that form the basis of modern modelling workflows, while working with great people, this is a perfect opportunity.

Everybody who has ever gone to Aalto to work with Aki has told me how much they loved both Helsinki, working with Aki, and playing with Aki (assuming you can keep up—he’s way too fast for me!). Plus, all the work that comes out of Aki’s group in Finland is really great in that it’s well thought through and well tested compared to the norm in stats.
