Research Assistant Position (f/m/d) in the Research Group "Stochastic Algorithms and Nonparametric Statistics" (Ref. 24/25)

Ref. 24 / 25)in the Research Group Stochastic Algorithms and Nonparametric Statistics (Acting Head : Prof. Dr. V. Spokoiny) starting from 01 January 2025.

Field of work : Bayesian methodology has been successfully applied to parameter estimation problems for PDEs, inverse problems, and stochastic processes.

It also plays a central role in sequential estimation and forecasting problems in data assimilation. As part of project B08, we aim to develop three key research directions in Bayesian inference for stochastic processes : (i) theoretical guarantees for Laplace approximation and Bayesian optimization;

ii) the error-in-operator approach with applications to McKean-Vlasov SDEs; and (iii) design and analysis of MCMC methods in SDE models.

The post holder will work on these topics together with project leaders Claudia Schillings (FU), Vladimir Spokoiny (HU), and Sven Wang (HU).
