Job Title
A Postdoctoral Research Position in Environmental Spatio-Temporal Statistics
-----------------------------------
Overview
Our team is seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to undertake cutting-edge collaborative research into Antarctic ice sheet science. You will use a unified statistical modelling framework to develop new understandings and contribute to building a collegial and collaborative team research environment.
The successful candidate will bring their expertise in environmental spatial statistical science to improve understanding of the change and variability of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. They will contribute to developing an optimal spatial statistical combination of multivariate datasets to contribute new knowledge of change in the mass of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
-----------------------------------
Responsibilities
* Undertake research in ice sheet science, publishing findings in international peer-reviewed journals.
* Combine multiple satellite and field datasets in a unified statistical modelling framework to develop understandings of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
* Initiate and develop competitive external funding applications.
* Engage with professional development opportunities appropriate for an academic, government or industry career.
-----------------------------------
Requirements
* PhD in geostatistics, spatial statistics, or commensurate discipline.
* Demonstrated ability to undertake research in spatial data analysis, including working with multivariate data.
* Substantial experience in code development and, preferably, experience with Bayesian statistical modelling techniques and software.
