PhD position in Statistics with a focus on probabilistic graphical models and causal inference
A PhD position is available under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Giusi Moffa at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Basel.
Research topic
The focus of the group will be on probabilistic graphical models and causal inference. However, the thesis project may develop in different directions depending on the inclination of the candidate. One option is to focus on computational methods for structure learning of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), e.g. in the context of mixed data, or hybrid learning methods which consider different measures of independence for the constraint-based part of the algorithm, so as to handle non-linear relationships. Alternatively one may focus on inferential aspects and interpretation, and tackle the problem of Bayesian estimation of putative intervention effects. Applications may cover clinical research, epidemiology, cancer genomics and precision medicine. Please visit my research page for more information about the projects
