"Post doctoral researcher in Mathematics or Statistics"

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar position, starting in fall 2025, preferably with an interest or focus on "Applied Mathematics or Statistics, in particular relating to data science applications".

The appointment is for a fixed term, but renewable upon satisfactory performance and funding availability. Candidates should have finished their Ph.D. in applied mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, machine learning or a related field before their appointment start date. Successful candidates are expected to carry out research, collaborate with faculty members, apply for external funding, and teach courses.

Candidates in all areas of applied mathematics and statistics may apply. Our interests include but are not limited to analysis and computation of partial differential equations and applications; stochastic processes and applications (e.g. mathematical biology, data science); mathematical biology with modeling and analysis of cellular dynamics (e.g. clustered cell migration, neuromechanical locomotion, network synchronization), parameter estimation (e.g. in epidemiological spread, chemical reaction networks), emergent behavior (e.g. flocking, swarming); optimization theory and numerical optimization with applications to data science; high-dimensional statistics; Bayesian statistics; resampling techniques; digital twins; uncertainty quantification; statistical process control; foundations of machine learning and artificial intelligence; statistical applications to biomedical problems and precision medicine.
