This postdoctoral opportunity is part of the ERC Advanced Grant project Dynamics on and of Random Graphs (Dynamics.oRG) led by Remco van der Hofstad at Eindhoven University of Technology . The project focuses on the mathematics of phase transitions for stochastic processes evolving on random graphs, asking how randomness in the network environment can alter critical behaviour. The successful researchers will join a dedicated team of PhD students, postdocs, and collaborators working on challengin...

About this position

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam’s Department of Mathematics is seeking a Postdoc in Mathematical Statistics for a two-year appointment, with the possibility of extension to three years. The role is positioned within the department’s statistics group and is designed for researchers who can bring a strong, independent research profile while contributing to ongoing group activity.

The position is broadly framed, giving the successful candidate considerable freedom to develop their own research agenda, as long as it aligns well with the statistics group. Research themes mentioned as especially welcome include nonparametric and high-dimensional inference, quantile regression, Bayesian nonparametrics, and sequential inference. Candidates who can connect to existing strengths in the department are particularly encouraged.

The post is in the Department of Mathematics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) in the Netherlands. The role combines 85% research in mathematical statistics, in collaboration with members of the statistics group, and 15% teaching within the department’s mathematics teaching portfolio. The group highlights an inclusive, interdisciplinary environment, with diversity and internationalism central to both research and teaching.

The preferred starting date is 1 September 2027. Applications from groups under-represented in academic posts are especially encouraged, and the department particularly welcomes applications from women and people with an ethnic minority background.

This is a strong opportunity for postdoctoral researchers in mathematical statistics, statistical theory, or related areas seeking a collaborative yet independent academic environment at a major Dutch university.
