Amsterdam, Nederland CWI Voltijd

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has vacancies in the Machine Learning research group for two enthusiastic talented

**PhD students (m/v/x)**

within Peter Grünwald’s ERC Advanced Grant Project FLEX (FLEXible Statistical Inference).

**Job description**:
Most statistical methods require that all aspects of data collection and inference are determined in advance, independently of the data. These include when to stop collecting data, what decisions can be made (i.e. accept/reject null hypothesis), and how to measure their quality (e.g. loss function/significance level). This is _wildly_ at odds with the flexibility required in practice It is a leading cause of the _replicability crisis _in the applied sciences.

The FLEX project aims to develop novel theory and methods of statistics in which all data-collection and decision-aspects may be unknown in advance, possibly imposed post-hoc. Yet this new theory will provide small-sample frequentist error control and uncertainty quantification. The theory will be based on far-reaching extensions of _e-values_, _e-processes_, and the _e_-_posterior_, flexible alternatives for p-values and Bayes factors that have been developed over the last five years. Other key topics include _anytime-valid confidence sequences_ and _the foundations of statistics_ (likelihood principle, complete class theorems).

The vacancies are for two four-year PhD students to do research within the FLEX project. The students will join the Machine Learning group at CWI, and receive their PhD degree from Leiden University.

**Requirements**:

- Self-drive, enthusiasm, curiosity, open-mindedness and a research-oriented attitude.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

**Terms and conditions**:
The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres ("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen"). The initial labour agreement will be for a period of 18 months. After a positive evaluation, the agreement will be extended by 30 months. The gross monthly salary, for a PhD student on a full time basis, is € 2,884 during the first year and increases to €3,801 over the four year period. Employees are also entitled to a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.33%.
