About this position
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Information Theory, Probability and Statistics Unit. The unit is led by Amedeo Roberto Esposito, and the successful researcher will work closely with the head of the unit and the team to develop and publish research in a broad, interdisciplinary area spanning information theory, probability theory, statistics, and learning theory.
The project areas named in the advert include information measures, concentration of measure, non-iid and other non-classical settings, information-theoretic bounds on generalisation error, estimation theory, hypothesis testing, and contraction properties of Markovian and non-Markovian operators on probability measures. The role is framed around advancing the unit’s research agenda through original theoretical work and publication.
The appointment is for an initial two-year period, with possible renewal after performance review, and the starting date is flexible.
