Do you like (or know someone who likes): AMSTERDAM GEOSTATISTICS KALMAN FILTERING SOIL HYDROLOGY A POSITION AS A PHD-RESEARCHER then please read on. At the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam, we currently have a vacancy for a PhD-researcher on the project “Incorporating process-knowledge in spatio-temporal kriging of soil variables”. The aim of this project is to build and apply statistical models that can satisfactorily describe and predict the behaviour of soil variables over space and time. And that do so in a way that observations and physical process knowledge are both exploited. We believe that the direction to go forward is that of space-time Kalman filtering. Much more information on this project (such as the full project proposal) can be obtained from Gerard Heuvelink ([EMAIL PROTECTED], telephone (+)31 20 5257448, http://www.frw.uva.nl/soil/Welcome.html). We are seeking candidates that have finished a Masters in the (natural) sciences, preferably in the Earth Sciences, (Applied) Mathematics, Statistics or Econometrics. The person we seek loves to work with equations and loves to put them into computer code, but must at the same time find much motivation and inspiration from applying mathematical models to real world problems. Of course the project should lead to a PhD-thesis. The project lasts for four years, and must commence before the end of this year. Part of the project is a three months working visit to partners in the USA and/or Australia in the second year of the project. The monthly salary starts at about € 1450 (currently 1 € equals about 0.91 US$) in the first year to about € 2050 in the fourth. Applications (letter and curriculum vitae) must arrive BEFORE 1 OCTOBER 2001. Please send your application to: Dr. Gerard B.M. Heuvelink IBED-Physical Geography Universiteit van Amsterdam Nieuwe Achtergracht 166 1018 WV Amsterdam THE NETHERLANDS Application through E-mail or FAX is also accepted: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / (+)31 20 5257431 -- * To post a message to the list, send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * As a general service to the users, please remember to post a summary of any useful responses to your questions. * To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with no subject and "unsubscribe ai-geostats" followed by "end" on the next line in the message body.
