We’ll be considering applications for more postdocs in the Applied Statistics Center. As far as I can tell, this is the best statistics postdoctoral position out there: you get to work with fun, interesting people on exciting projects and make a difference in a variety of fields. You’ll be part of an active an open community of students, faculty, and other researchers. It’s a great way for a top Ph.D. graduate to get started in research without getting overwhelmed right away by the responsibilities of a faculty position. If this job had existed when I got my own Ph.D. way back when, I would’ve taken it.
Just email me your application letter, c.v., and your papers and have three letters of reference emailed to me. We will hire 0, 1, or more people depending on who applies and how they fit in with our various ongoing and planned projects in statistical methods, computation, and applications in social science, public health, engineering, and other areas.
What is the deadline?
Hrm…is there room for an econ flunkie with a terminal masters, and who was never really very good with the statistics, and has grown passionate about how local communities, lacking a Dewey-Defeats-Truman, get taken for rides by so-called experts? If so, I might know a guy fitting that description. Heh, heh, heh.
Goodness,
No particular deadline; we look at applications as they come in.
Dr. Gelman,
I saw your papers about time series analysis on your website. Currently I am also working on time series analysis (mainly volatility analysis). Can I apply for this postdoc position since I am in my last year of my PhD.
Jia
Jia,
You can apply if you're in the last year of your Ph.D. But I don't know if volatility analysis is so relevant to any of the things we're working on here.
Dr. Gelman,
Volatility analysis is mainly for my dissertation. My research focuses on time series analysis. Do you mind if I send my CV to you and you take a look first.
Dr. Gelman,
I am wondering whether this position is still available. If it is still available, do you have any requirement that an applicant must be a US permanent resident or US citizen?
Tianhui
Tianhui,
We might have something. There is no citizenship requirement (other than US visa, of course).
