Postdoctoral Associate at Virginia Tech: A new opportunity for a Postdoctoral Associate is available at the Virginia Tech Department of Statistics, collaborating with Professor Robert B. Gramacy and colleagues at the Virginia Tech Center for Ecosystem Forecasting. The position focuses on advancing research in Uncertainty Quantification, dynamic and stochastic modeling, and data-centric inference in physical and engineering sciences.
Designation: Postdoctoral Associate
Research Area: Uncertainty Quantification, Dynamic and Stochastic Modeling, Data-Centric Inference in Physical and Engineering Sciences, Surrogate Modeling of Computer Simulation Experiments.
Location: Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Ph.D. in statistics, machine learning, or a related field.
- PhD awarded no more than four years prior to the effective date of appointment with a minimum of one year eligibility remaining.
- Experience publishing peer-reviewed journal articles in statistics or machine learning.
- Proficiency in the R programming language.
- Experience in collaborative coding projects and version-control tools (e.g., Git).
- Interest in working in interdisciplinary, collaborative teams.
Job Description: The postdoctoral associate will lead publications on surrogate modeling of high-powered computer models for natural and biological systems. Research activities include upgrading the surrogate modeling toolkit, handling massive stochastic simulation campaigns, addressing input-dependent noise, non-stationary dynamics, and synthesizing simulation and field observations. The role involves collaboration with team members developing simulation models, managing sensors, recording field data, and contributing to a real-time monitoring/forecasting platform for resource management.
