The Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) in Berlin invites applications for two postdoc positions in mathematical statistics

Starting date: September 1, 2026 (or a bit later)

While this is a broadly advertised position, we are primarily looking for candidates with a strong track record in mathematical statistics and/or theory of machine learning. Candidates are expected to actively contribute to our scientific collaborations. It is a plus to have knowledge of stochastic analysis and we will give preference to candidates whose research interests align with the research of several members of the research group “Stochastic Algorithms and Nonparametric Statistics” (see this link https://www.wias-berlin.de/research/rgs/fg6/ for details and note that Johannes Schmidt-Hieber and the ERC grant “Extending the mathematics of artificial neural networks to biological neural networks” will be soon integrated within the research group).

The application period opens immediately and remains open until the position is filled. For more details and the application form see https://short.sg/j/65248656
