I am looking for highly motivated statisticians, data scientists or computer scientists, interested to applying for a Postdoctoral Research Grant from the Chilean National Fund for Scientific and Technological Research (FONDECYT), most likely opening in June 2018. Researchers who attained a Doctoral degree as of January 1st, 2015 or later, may apply to this competition.
A local researcher at a Chilean university must sponsor the proposal and I would play that role. Therefore, the proposal should be about Bayesian nonparametric methods. Please see my webpage for recent papers and current grants:
www.mat.uc.cl/~ajara
The projects last for 2 or 3 years and the candidate must declare a full-time commitment to the research work. However, its execution is compatible with other paid academic, research and/or outreach activities for of up to 6 hours per week in the sponsoring institution.
The grant will cover salary (approximately USD 30,400 / year), travel and operational expenses (USD 6,700/year), and health insurance (USD 670/year).
Interested postdoctoral applicants should send a formal application to atjara AT uc.cl including the following information by June 4th, 2018:
– Cover letter
– CV
– Publication list
– Summary of research accomplishments and potential research interest
Please do not hesitate to contacting my for further details.
