Stefano Favaro (U Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto) is currently advertising a post-doctoral position in Statistics to be held at University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto. The position is funded by my European project NBEB-SSP. The project has two main workstreams: i) a nonparametric Bayes and empirical Bayes study of classical species sampling problems, generalized species sampling problems emerging in biological and physical sciences, and questions thereof in the context of optimal design of species inventories; ii) the use of recent theories of differential privacy to study the tradeoff between privacy protection of information, which requires to release partial or perturbed data, and Bayesian learning in species sampling problems, which requires accurate data to make inference.

The position is for two years. The expected starting date is March 2020, but a different date may be arranged. The salary of approximately 40000 - 45000 Euros per year, and considerable financial support to attend conferences and workshops will be granted. There are no teaching duties associated to the position.

Candidates can contact Stefano Favaro directly - stefano...@unito.it - for their expressions of interest (including cv and list of publications) or for any additional information on the post-doctoral position.

Please note that this is a call for interest, not a job vacancy announcement; i.e., this call is only a preliminary stage aimed to collect expressions of interest, and it is not a formal application for the post-doctoral position.
