Inoltro la seguente segnalazione. Cordiali saluti a tutti. Claudio Macci. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 13:04:27 +0000 From: Ken Duffy <Ken.Duffy(a)mu.ie> To: Ken Duffy <Ken.Duffy(a)mu.ie> Subject: Seeking candidates for a (42k Euro / year) Ph.D. position in Mathematical Biology. Dear Colleagues, I have a well funded Mathematical Biology Ph.D. post (42k/year wage, no fees for EU citizens, travel monies, etc.) for which I am seeking candidates. It is part of a Europe Union Marie Curie Training Network, QuanTII, so there are mobility restrictions that essentially exclude existing Irish-based candidates. Hence I'd sincerely appreciate it if you could pass this on to anyone suitable you know who might be interested. The research is multi-disciplinary and will be in collaboration with colleagues at the Walter and Eliza Institute of Medical Research. I am mainly looking for someone with a good numerate background, preferably including probability and statistics, with an interest in applications; they can learn the biology on the job. https://www.universityvacancies.com/maynooth-university/marie-curie-early-s tage-researcher-mathematical-biology-10067 Best regards, Ken ------------- Ken Duffy Professor Director, Maynooth University Hamilton Institute T: +353 1 708 6796 E: ken.duffy(a)mu.ie W: www.maynoothuniversity.ie/people/ken-duffy

The Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padova, www.stat.unipd.it, announces the opening of a selection to award a 24 months research grant for innovative and excellent research projects proposed by young independent scholars within the framework of the Project of Excellence “Statistical methods and models for complex data”. The Department of Statistical Sciences is a department of excellence whose project “Statistical methods and models for complex data” has been financed by the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) at the beginning of 2018. The project will last for five years, from 2018 to 2022, and details on the project activities are available at this link http://www.stat.unipd.it/bandi . In particular, the Project of Excellence (PE) purpose is to develop novel skills for the analysis of complex data, according to the following progress lines: a) To the overcoming of deficiencies of the current statistical methods and models for data characterized by various forms of complexity; b) To meet the growing demand for solutions to complex problems in various application fields by developing and/or using innovative statistical tools, specifically designed to tackle the specific aspects of application fields and of data they might generate; c) To develop strategies for the management of novel data types as, for instance, those emerging from the contemporaneous presence of various elements of complexity; d) To contribute to the definition of general approaches for inference on complex data of different origin, that will become the methodological infrastructure for the developments of modelling, forecasting and classification strategies. The new position builds on the project “Statistical models for complex data” and the selected candidate will be involved in the development of the project activities. In the evaluation of the research proposals, adherence to the project topics is a necessary requirement. The candidates must be PhD graduates with at least one year of post-doctoral research experiences in Italian or international research institutes of recognized scientific quality.
