Job description

Offer DescriptionWe are pleased to announce that the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Eindhoven University of Technology is opening a PhD position in Statistics. We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic candidate with a background in Mathematics/Statistics to join the Statistics Group and conduct research in the area of dependence modeling and copulas.Dependence modeling is crucial in many applied fields where practitioners are interested in (1) detecting complex dependences in the data and (2) representing them in the modeling and estimation process through suitable statistical models. Copulas serve as powerful mathematical tools to construct flexible statistical models to represent complex dependence traits, such as tail dependence, non-exchangeability, positive/negative dependence properties.This project is expected to lead to novel theoretical and methodological results in the field of copula-based modeling. Although the focus is on theory, there will be possibilities to showcase the developed methodology in applied domains, such as climatology and weather forecasting.RequirementsSpecific Requirements

• A Master’s degree in Mathematics (with specialization in Statistics/Probability) or in Statistics;
• A strong curiosity and interest in statistical theory and methods;
• Experience with statistical programming languages and tools (such as R, Python);
• Excellent writing and communication skills in English;
