Position Description

The Department of Statistics invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow with Assistant Professor Pragya Sur. Dr. Sur’s lab focuses on research in high-dimensional statistics and statistical machine learning. Potential research projects include (but are not limited to) developing statistical theory and methods for high-dimensional transfer learning; learning from large-scale (potentially) heterogeneous training data arising from multiple studies/environments/sources; causal inference in high dimensions; high-dimensional Bayesian inference; understanding properties of ensemble learning algorithms used in the analysis of large-scale datasets, e.g. boosting, neural networks, etc.

The appointment will be for up to two years with annual renewal based on satisfactory performance and continued availability of funding.
