PhD Position in Statistics at the University of Twente, NL
The department of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer
Science (EEMCS) of the University of Twente (UT) has an opening for
three full-time, 4-year, fully-funded PhD positions to strengthen the
newly started Theme Team in Sports, Data and Interaction. The PhD
candidates will work closely together on an interdisciplinary project,
combining the fields of Statistics, Human Media Interaction and
Biomedical Signals and Systems.
The focus of the position in mathematical statistics (Position 2:
Statistical tools for modeling sports data) is on developing new
statistical tools and approaches to model the sports data in a way that
is suitable for use in interactive applications. The candidate will also
collaborate to integrate these tools into a computational system for
real-time analysis, in close collaboration with the other candidates.
Possible directions to shape the research project are
* Anomaly detection
* nonparametric statistics and machine learning
* time series analysis, specifically change-point detection
* Simultaneous inference
Candidates should have acquired a Master’s degree in mathematics,
statistics, data science or a closely related domain with a strong
background in probability and statistics, as well as some programming
skills in R or Python.
