About the Role

About You

  • Interacting particle systems for Monte Carlo methods and rare event simulation
  • Statistical physics for transport modelling
  • Branching structures and or stochastic modelling
-
Mathematical representations of Boltzmann Transport Equation solutions:will consider rigorous formulations of a suite of BTEs, their adjoints, as well as novel model reductions and solutions in terms of Feynman-Kac type representations and underlying stochastic processes.


Correlation and path decomposition in spatial branching: will look at a number of exact results concerning the inherent correlation in spatial Markov/neutron branching processes with a view to understanding Monte Carlo (MC) heuristics and potential MC shortcuts.
-
Interacting Particles (IPS) in multiplying media: will build a mathematical framework to rigorously analyse the complexity of new, advanced MC methods based on the principle of interacting particle systems.

The postdoctoral position includes the possibility to undertake an academic or industrial placement with one of our 26 partners.


If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure.

Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.


About the Department


The Department's research spans a broad range of areas in statistics, data science, theoretical and applied probability, finance and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Major strategic initiatives include CRiSM, the Applied Statistics & Risk Unit (AS&RU), which promotes and coordinates external partnerships, and the national Academy for PhD Training in Statistics (APTS).


The Department has close relations with the co-located Mathematics Institute and Department of Computer Science and with other departments such as Economics and the Warwick Business School and is strongly engaged with the Alan Turing Institute in London.

The newly established Warwick Centre for the Applications of the Mathematical and Computing Sciences (CAMaCS) is a joint initiative with Mathematics and Computer Science designed to link Warwick's world-leading research in the departments with external partners and bring benefits to society through impact.
