08 Jan '18

(sorry for possible cross-postings) Dear all, the Interdepartmental Centre "Giorgio Levi Cases" for Energy, Economics and Technology (University of Padova) issues a research grant on the topic "Capacity markets and the definition of the value of Reliability Options" to be performed at the Department of Mathematics under the supervision of Prof. Tiziano Vargiolu (as the scientific responsible), in cooperation with Prof. Fulvio Fontini, of the Department of Economics and Management. - duration: 27 month; - deadline: January 18, 2017 - topic: In energy markets, it is of particular interest the problem of a fair evaluation of Reliability Options (RO), namely, physical call options derived on electricity, issued by generators and acquired by a subject to hedge adequacy risk of power generation. The aim of this grant is to define a fair pricing of RO, which requires techniques which go beyond those classically used in financial markets to price and hedge derivative assets. - call for grant: http://www.math.unipd.it/it/news/?id=2152 The English version is at the bottom (2 downloadable files). The successful candidate will not have teaching duties (however, there is in principle the possibility to teach, if wanted) and will have access to the Department's fundings for travel. For further information, feel free to contact me (vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it) Please circulate -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiziano Vargiolu Dipartimento di Matematica Phone: +39 049 8271383 Universita' di Padova Fax: +39 049 8271428 Via Trieste, 63 E-mail: vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it I-35121 Padova (Italy) WWW: http://www.math.unipd.it/~vargiolu --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PhD vacancy in Multi-State models
by Spitoni, C. (Cristian) 26 Dec '17

26 Dec '17

Project description Multi-state models are finding increased application in medical research. They allow a detailed view of the disease or recovery process of a patient, and they can be used to obtain prediction probabilities of future events, after a given event history. The offered position will involve developing novel statistical methods for the analysis of competing risks and multi-state models. Particular big emphasis will be given to new methodologies needed for modeling disease progression in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting. Among the new methods to be explored: causal inference, correction for time dependent confounding, prediction for non Markov models. The offered position is a shared position between the Department of Mathematics of Utrecht University (50%) and the University Medical Center of Utrecht (50%). Hence, the student will work along with researchers from the Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care (UMCU) and with physicians of the ICU, in order to build up models of medical relevance. Prerequisites We are seeking a candidate with a Master’s degree in Mathematics or a Master’s degree in Statistics and a strong affinity for mathematics. You have experience with programming languages, including statistical programming languages. Good communication skills in both written and spoken English are also essential. General information You will be offered a full-time position for four years. The gross monthly salary will amount to EUR 2.146,- in the first year to EUR 2.744,- in the fourth year (P-scale of the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities). It is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of 8,3% per year. In addition Utrecht University offers a pension scheme and a partially paid parental leave. Deadline for application February 23, 2018<x-apple-data-detectors://0> Latest starting date September 1, 2018<x-apple-data-detectors://1> How to apply Please submit the following material: 1. a cover letter including an explanation why you consider pursuing a Ph.D. in<http://ph.d.in/> multi-state modelling, 2. your curriculum vitae, 3. a list of all courses taken for your bachelor's and master's degrees together with grades, 4. your master's thesis, 5. names, contact information, and e-mail addresses of two academic referees.
