**About the Role***

**1**

***

This timely project will develop statistical and algorithmic foundations for systems involving multiple incentive-driven learning and decision-making agents, including uncertainty quantification at the agent’s level.

The project will bring together ideas from Statistics, Probability, Machine Learning, Statistics and Game Theory and is an ambitious 10M Euro project funded by ERC (UK component from the UKRI funding guarantee), and led by 4PIs: Gareth Roberts (Warwick), Eric Moulines (Ecole Polytechnique), Christian Robert (Dauphine) and Michael Jordan (Berkeley).

**About You***

**1**

We are seeking to recruit a Research Fellow to join the team of investigators led by Gareth Roberts.

The successful applicant will be based at Warwick but expected to work alongside other researchers from Roberts’s team (including Adam Johansen at Warwick, Murray Pollock and Hongsheng Dai at Newcastle University, and Louis Aslett at Durham University), as well as researchers from the teams in Paris and Berkeley. They will participate in the many collaborative activities of OCEAN, while also enjoying the vibrant research environment of the Warwick Computational Statistics group.

You should have, or be close to completing, a PhD in Statistics, Probability, Machine Learning or a related discipline.

You will be experienced in one or more of the following areas: Statistics, Computational Statistics, Theory and methodology of Stochastic Algorithms, High-Performance Computing, and Machine Learning. You will have demonstrated the ability to develop new statistical or machine learning methodology.

We are particularly keen to encourage applicants with strong computational skills, as part of a team of researchers with skills that cover theoretical, methodological, and applied statistics. A demonstrable ability to produce academic writing of the highest publishable quality is essential.

If you have not yet been awarded your PhD but are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure (£32,982 p.a.). Upon successful award of your PhD and evidence of this fact, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£33,966 p.a.).

**About the Department***

**1**

***

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.

The Department of Statistics is committed to promoting equality and diversity, holding an Athena SWAN Silver award which demonstrates this commitment. We welcome applicants from all sections of the community and will give due consideration to applicants seeking flexible working patterns, and to those who have taken a career break.
