Postdoctoral Fellowships - Program on Statistical Inference in Big Data 
------------------------------------------------------------------
Applications are invited for postdoctoral fellowship positions with the
planned Program on Statistical Inference in Big Data, January to June
2015, at the Fields Institute, Toronto. The fellowships provide for a
period of engagement in research and participation in the activities of
the Institute. They may be offered in conjunction with partner
universities, through which a further period of support may be possible.
List on the cover sheet of the application any faculty members, at
universities affiliated with the Fields Institute, who you believe are
appropriate. You are encouraged to apply directly to these other
institutions as well. 
One of the postdoctoral fellows for the six-month program will be
awarded the Institute's prestigious Jerrold E. Marsden Postdoctoral
Fellowship. This pays a full stipend and provides for a six-month period
at the Institute for research and participation in the activities of the
thematic program with no teaching required. In addition to the stipend,
a $1,000 (Cdn) research grant will be available during the tenure of the
award. 
There may also be a number of two year positions available connected to
the Fields-Ontario fellowship. These fellowships involve a semester at
Fields and 3 semesters at one of Fields' Principal Sponsoring
Universities (PSU). To apply for the two year fellowship please indicate
your interest on the cover sheet and include the names of faculty
members at Fields Principal Sponsoring Universities who may be
appropriate as supervisors. The Fields PSU's are: Carleton University,
McMaster University, the University of Ottawa, the University of
Toronto, the University of Waterloo, the University of Western Ontario,
and York University. 

Eligibility: Qualified candidates who will have a recent PhD in the area
of the Program or a related area of the statistical, computational or
mathematical sciences are encouraged to apply. Deadline to apply is June
1, 2014. Fellowship positions are conditional on funding for the
Program. Late applications will also be accepted until the positions are
filled.
