A new PhD fellowship in spatio-temporal statistics
by Agata Lo Tauro Nov. 4, 2019

Nov. 4, 2019

Vi inoltro il seguente messaggio sperando di fare cosa gradita. agata lo tauro (linkedIn) A new PhD fellowship in spatio-temporal statistics is available at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at NTNU. The successful candidate will be offered a three-year position. The Department may offer a twelve-month extension as a teaching assistant. The workplace will be Trondheim. Main duties and responsibilities Spatial and spatio-temporal statistics encompass applications in a wide range of areas from environmental and physical sciences to epidemiology and demography. Current methods in spatio-temporal and computational statistics are being pushed to their limits by the recent desire for extensive spatio-temporal continental-scale surfaces of health indicators such as prevalence of diseases and mortality rates. In the setting of low- and medium-income countries, the available data is sparse, has complex structure, and comes in diverse forms from diverse sources. Providing new methods for expanding our capabilities are essential for the advancement of statistical methodology and answering society’s need to track progress towards the United Nations’ sustainable development goals on child mortality and disease. The goal of this project is to develop new statistical models that jointly can model diverse sources of spatio-temporal data, and to develop the computational methods required for fitting the new models to realistically sized data sets. Particular emphasis will be put on accounting for jittering in observation locations (due to data anonymization), combining point observations and areal observations, and combining quick, but limited, deterministic methods for statistical inference with general, but slow, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. A key focus will be to produce software that allow the results to be reproduced and the new methods to be used by other scientists. Qualification requirements The PhD-position's main objective is to qualify for work in research positions. The qualification requirement is completion of a master’s degree or second degree (equivalent to 120 credits) with a strong academic background in Statistics or equivalent education with a grade of B or better in terms of NTNU’s grading scale <https://innsida.ntnu.no/wiki/-/wiki/English/Grading+scale>. Applicants with no letter grades from previous studies must have an equally good academic foundation. Applicants who are unable to meet these criteria may be considered only if they can document that they are particularly suitable candidates for education leading to a PhD degree. Master of Science students who expect to complete their master’s degree studies by summer 2020 are also encouraged to apply. Employment will then be postponed until the master’s degree is finished. The applicants who do not master a Scandinavian language must document a thorough knowledge of English (equivalent to a TOEFL score of 600 or more). The appointment is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force concerning State Employees and Civil Servants and national guidelines for appointment as PhD, post doctor and research assistant. Other qualifications - Some background in spatial statistics is required, and experience with spatial statistics is an advantage. - Background or experience with computational statistics is an advantage. - Knowledge about and interest in programming is required. - Experience with the programming language R is an advantage. NTNU is committed to following evaluation criteria for research quality according to The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment - DORA. <http://www.ascb.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/sfdora.pdf> Personal characteristics *We are looking for someone who* - is highly motivated for the position; - has a strong interest in methodological work; - has a desire to contribute to solving real-world challenges.

Festival della Tecnologia (Torino, 7-10 Novembre)
by J.C. DE MARTIN Nov. 2, 2019

Nov. 2, 2019

Buonasera a tutti, mi permetto di segnalarvi che a Torino dal 7 all'11 novembre si terrà il Festival della Tecnologia, una manifestazione che il Politecnico di Torino (insieme a 50 partner) ha organizzato per celebrare il suo 160° anniversario. Parliamo di oltre 150 incontri con oltre 300 relatori (tra cui alcuni iscritti a questa lista), una manifestazione profondamente interdisciplinare, con anche il contributo della letteratura, dell'arte, della musica, del teatro, perché la tecnologia non la capiamo senza il contributo di tutti i saperi umani. Il programma è online qui: www.festivaltecnologia.it, mentre il PDF del programma cartaceo (qualcuno magari lo preferisce) è qui: https://www.festivaltecnologia.it/sites/default/files/inline-files/Guida%20… Ovviamente il digitale ha un ruolo importante nel programma del Festival, motivo per cui mi è sembrato opportuno segnalarvi l'iniziativa. Buona serata, un caro saluto, juan carlos
