HEC Management School – University of Liège
HEC Management School – University of Liège (HEC-ULg) invites applications for a one year (possibly renewable) full time post-doctoral research position starting on October 1st, 2010.
Prerequisites for qualification are a Ph.D. in Statistics or in a related field. The candidate should demonstrate excellent research potential with significant international exposure. The School is especially interested in candidates with a background in the areas of mathematical statistics, nonparametrics, survival analysis, Bayesian or robust statistics with a special attention for practical applications. A limited teaching duty (in English or French) is possible (e.g. a short course on the candidate’s area of research), and participation in various scientific activities (Graduate School in Statistics and Actuarial Sciences, local seminars…) is expected.
HEC-ULg is one of the leading Belgian business schools for graduate and postgraduate programs with 60 faculty members with international recognition and more than 2400 students as of January 2010. It results from a successful merger in Liège, at the heart of Europe, between a public university (University of Liège) and a private business school (HEC Liège). The chosen candidate will have access to a dynamic research network enabling fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations. He will be part of the recently created Centre for Quantitative Methods and Operations Management (QuantOM), gathering 20 scientists and aiming at developing innovative quantitative methods in management science. The Center for Statistics will also give him the opportunity to collaborate with statisticians of the other departments of the University (Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences, Applied Sciences, Medical Sciences, Social Sciences…) through regular contacts and seminars.
HEC-ULg is located in Liège, Belgium’s third largest city, and the largest agglomeration of the French-speaking Walloon region. Liège is the third inland port of Europe and the eighth freight airport in Europe. Recognized for its quality of life and its rich historical patrimonium, Liège is ideally situated within the Meuse-Rhin Euregio, 40 kilometers from Maastricht (the Netherlands) and 60 kilometers from Aachen (Germany). It is less than 1.5 hours away from Köln, 2.5 hours from Paris and 4 hours from London by high-speed train (TGV) starting from the new magnificent train station designed by the renowned architect Santiago Calatrava.
