Postdoc (Research Fellow) in Statistical Science (3 years) – CEI/NIASRA, University of Wollongong, Australia
The Centre for Environmental Informatics (CEI, https://www.uow.edu.au/niasra/our-research/centre-for-environmental-informatics/) in the National Institute for Applied Statistics Research Australia is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral Research Fellow in Statistical Science for up to three years, to join CEI Director Dist. Prof Noel Cressie and Assoc. Prof Andrew Zammit Mangion on a major initiative from the Australian Research Council: Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF). SAEF will deliver interdisciplinary science to forecast environmental change across Antarctica, the sub-Antarctic, and the Southern Ocean; deploy effective environmental-stewardship strategies in the face of this change; and secure Antarctica as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science (https://arcsaef.com).
The successful candidate will use statistical data science skills in areas that include the development and implementation of regional-climate data fusion, statistical downscaling, ice-sheet model calibration, and studying the effects of present and future climate on biodiversity in Antarctica. This will involve collaboration with researchers from SAEF’s participating universities and research institutions.
Wollongong is a highly liveable city on the beautiful Illawarra coast, about 50 miles (80km) south of Sydney.
