Duties and Responsibilities: NC State University has an open postdoctoral position under its NSF-funded Research Training Group (RTG) entitled Uncertainty Quantification for Life Sciences (UQ4Life). The postdoctoral associate is expected to engage in research at the interface of mathematics and statistics with applications to the life sciences, broadly defined. Based on background, strengths and interests, the postdoc will be assigned a Statistics or Mathematics research mentor from the faculty associated with the RTG: either Brian Reich or Erin Schliep from Statistics or Mette Olufsen or Kevin Flores from Mathematics. Applicants with experience in Bayesian modeling, spatial statistics, mathematical modeling, data integration, uncertainty quantification and/or machine learning are encouraged to apply. The postdoc will also play a leading role in co-mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, assist in organizing seminars and activities related to RTG activities and teach one course per semester in the Department of Statistics or Mathematics.

We are committed to building a collaborative workforce and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences.
Application Instructions: The postdoctoral associate must hold a PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, or a closely related field. Please submit a cover letter, CV, research statement, and the names of at least three potential letter writers with your application. The deadline for full consideration is February 15, 2025, although later applications will be considered as resources permit.
