Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland The International Society for Bayesian Analysis Full time
Postdoctoral Researcher in Statistical Ecology

Mar 5, 2019

The University of Helsinki, founded in 1640, is one of the world's leading universities for multidisciplinary research. The University of Helsinki has an international academic community of 40,000 students and staff members, and it offers comprehensive services to its employees, including occupational health care and health insurance, sports facilities, and opportunities for professional development.

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER in statistical ecology for a fixed term of two years. There will be a trial period of six months in the beginning.

The post doc position is part of the Research Centre for Ecological Change and is funded by the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation. The starting date is 1 May 2019, but a later starting date can be negotiated.

The overarching aim of the Centre is to generate a coordinated analysis of long-term ecological data to understand impacts of global change. The project takes advantage of the unique long-term datasets collected in Finland and develops state-of-the-art methodology for analysing long-term spatially structured data sets within a joint species distribution modeling framework.

The post doc takes part in the development of statistical methods for analyzing long-term ecological data and in statistical analyzes within the Research Centre for Ecological Change.

The methodological work focuses on development of Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities (HMSC) and hierarchical multivariate Gaussian processes. HMSC is a joint species distribution modelling framework that can be used for the statistical analysis of data on species occurrence, environmental covariates, functional traits and phylogenetic relationships.

The successful applicant should have a doctoral degree in ecology, statistics or other relevant field and will have experience in the development and application of Bayesian methods for computationally challenging problems. A successful candidate will also have experience in scientific computing. Prior experience in ecology is not necessary, but is counted as an advantage.

The salary of the successful candidate will be based on level 5 – 6 of the demands level chart for teaching and research personnel in the salary system of Finnish universities. The starting salary will be approximately 3300 – 3800 euros/month, depending on the appointee's qualifications and experience.

Applications should include the following documents as a single pdf file: motivational letter (max 1 page), CV (max 2 pages), and publication list. Please also include contact information of two persons willing to provide a reference letter by separate request.
