The statistics research group at the University of Twente invites applications for a fully funded PhD position in statistics
The statistics research group at the University of Twente invites applications for a fully funded PhD position in statistics. The successful PhD candidate will conduct research with respect to the statistical theory of time series analysis.
In particular, you will work on multiscale characterizations of multivariate correlated observations through ordinal pattern analysis.
The analysis of multivariate and high-dimensional time series has become increasingly important and faces theoretical and practical challenges due to the massive production of temporally dependent data in fields such as macroeconomics, finance, genomics, or neuroscience. In the context of the advertised PhD position, this makes way for interdisciplinary collaborations with, e.g., the biomedical signals and systems group at University of Twente.
