About this position
Postdoctoral positions in Probability or the Mathematics of Data Science are available at the University of Waterloo’s Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. The successful scholar will work with Professor Aukosh Jagannath on research at the intersection of probability, statistics, and data science.
The position centers on mathematically grounded questions in modern data science, with potential topics including the mathematics of deep learning, statistical-to-computational trade-offs in high-dimensional statistics and machine learning, and the statistical physics of disordered media. The advert also notes that the University of Waterloo has an active research community spanning Computer Science, Data Science and Statistics, Optimization, Mathematical Physics, and Free Probability, which may create additional research connections for postdoctoral scholars.
The appointment is typically for two years. Teaching is not mandatory, although the postdoctoral scholar may have the opportunity to teach, with compensation, up to one course in Statistics or Actuarial Science per academic year depending on teaching qualifications.
The start date is flexible and the post is based in a large interdisciplinary environment within the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo.
