A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kent. We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious researcher who will work under the joint supervision of Professor James Hopker and Professor Jim Griffin (Department of Statistical Science, University College London), as well as working with leading international partners in anti-doping.
The successful candidate will contribute to the development of Bayesian statistical models and inferential methods for athletic performance which can be used to develop better anti-doping procedures. The project will look at joint modelling of athlete performance and biomarkers and involve longitudinal random effects models, statistical detection of unusual sets of observations and Bayesian nonparametric methods. The project is funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency. More information about the research can be found in the job description (see link below).
