This is one of two fixed term 36-month Research Associate appointments funded by the 5-year EPSRC Established Career Fellowship to Professor Huaizhong Zhao. The overall aim of the research is to create a random periodic model, to build a theory of periodic stochastic dynamics and to design a dynamics model under non-additive expectations. This particular project is to build a periodic time series model theory and implement the model to real world data. It lies at the intersection of stochastic analysis, dynamical systems, statistics and time series. The Research Associate will also write a software with numerical and machine learning techniques.
The applicant will have multidisciplinary skills involving expertise in the theory of stochastic analysis, probability theory, statistics and proficiency in software development (R). Additional expertise in data analysis and machine learning will also be beneficial.
