Postdoctoral positions in Statistics and the Mathematics of Insurance and Economics at Department of Mathematical Sciences

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen is seeking top early-career researchers for a number of attractive postdoctoral positions. The positions are one to three year positions. Starting date in 2019, ordinarily 1st September .

The salary is very competitive, depending on seniority, the salary amounts to 32.000-33.791 DKK/per month (app. EUR 4.266-4.500 per month) plus 17.1 % in pension contribution.

Potential applicants from outside of Denmark can find information about life in Denmark - including taxation, healthcare, etc. – at ism.ku.dk

The teaching load is typically two quarter (half-semester) courses per year of which one usually is as a teaching assistant.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences has strong research groups in many areas of mathematics, and has an active postdoc and visitors' programme; we refer to our homepage for more information.

Applicants hired via this call will be affiliated with one of the two sections in applied mathematics and statistics: Insurance and Economics or Statisticsand Probability Theory. Strong applicants in all areas covered by the topics of these sections will be considered. In particular there will be postdoc stipends in the following specific areas/centers of the Department:

• Copenhagen Causality Lab covering such research topics as causal inference for stochastic dynamical systems, partially observed systems, invariant prediction and graphical models. See http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/spt/copenhagen-causality-lab/ for more information or write Jonas Peters jonas.peters (at) math.ku.dk.

• The mathematics on reaction networks group (MBIO), covering research topics in various areas of applied math and statistics in biology. For this call, positions are available in areas connected to algebraic and stochastic theory of reaction networks, microbial signaling, and inference on human demographic history and ancient DNA. See https://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/spt/reaction-networks/ and http://www.popgen.dk/groupWiki/index.php/Groups for more information. For contact, write Elisenda Feliu efeliu (at) math.ku.dk, or Carsten Wiuf wiuf (at) math.ku.dk.
