Offer Description

The 'Stein-based goodness-of-fit TEsts for Non-Euclidean Data' (STENED) project seeks to hire two fully-funded PhD fellows starting in January 2025 (preferably) or June 2025 at the latest. The project aims to develop an overarching inferential toolbox for parametric and semiparametric distribution models on non-Euclidean supports using Stein's method, involving advanced mathematical statistics and computational methods. Funded by the 'AEI-DFG Call for Joint Spanish-German Research Projects', it is a collaboration between KIT and UC3M, co-led by Dr. Bruno Ebner (KIT) and Dr. Eduardo García Portugués (UC3M).

One PhD position is at KIT (Karlsruhe, Germany), and another at UC3M (Leganés, Madrid, Spain). Each position is for three years, with a possibility of a one-year extension, offering competitive salaries: €41,000 gross per year at KIT and €21,000 at UC3M. Funding includes research stays at KIT, UC3M, and other universities. The environment is vibrant, with motivated PhD students.

Candidate Requirements

• Master in Mathematics, Statistics, or comparable studies (or expected completion in 2024/2025).
• Bachelor in Mathematics, Statistics, or comparable studies.
• Outstanding academic record.
• High motivation.

Application Process

Applicants should send their CV, academic records, motivation letter, and two references to the provided email addresses before the deadline on 15 November 2024. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed online. Applications from all backgrounds are encouraged, with a preference for gender balance and diversity. Female applicants are especially encouraged to apply.
