Post-doctoral position in Statistics – Umeå University
The Department of Statistics at Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics, seeks applications for an open postdoc position in Statistics. The successful applicant for this position is expected to work with methodological development and applications of survey data in connection to the research project “The right question – new ways to elicit quantitative information in surveys” financed by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation.
We are looking for postdoc applicants having an interest in the intersection of statistics, economics and psychology. The applicant will work closely together with a recently recruited post-doc in economics at the Umeå Campus and a team of researchers in psychophysics at the Stockholm University.
