Postdoctoral Researcher in Bayesian statistics for multivariate spatial and temporal data

Aug 24, 2023

A two post-doctoral researcher position in Bayesian statistics for multivariate spatial and temporal data for a fixed term of 2-3 years, starting on 1 October or as agreed in University of Helsinki:

The postdoctoral researchers will work in the Environmental and Ecological Statistics Group, led by Associate professor Jarno Vanhatalo, and contribute to the cross-disciplinary research projects of the group through development of novel multivariate statistical and computational methods for large scale ecological data. Our approach is based on hierarchical Bayesian models and methods that allow us to integrate heterogeneous, complementary, ecological and environmental data. In this project, the work focuses specifically on the so called joint species distribution modeling (JSDM) framework, which are multivariate predictive tools utilizing novel latent factor and ...
