At the Statistics Section of the Department of Mathematics of the Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven there are vacancies for two Ph.D. positions. The candidates

plementation). The applicants are offered a stimulating working environment and
will be part of a very dynamic group of researchers conducting research on a high
international level.
There are two positions available:

PhD researcher in non-parametric and semi-parametrics statistics.
Among recent research topics covered by the team are, for example: flexible
modeling of functions via local polynomial fitting, splines or other regular-
ization techniques, modeling dependencies via copulas and the development
of methods for statistical inference, testing procedures and the selection of
smoothing parameters, variable selection in additive models and varying coef-
ficient models. For more information, contact Prof. I. Gijbels
(irene.gijbels@wis.kuleuven.be; Tel: +32-(0)16-322018).

PhD researcher in robust and computational statistics.
Examples of research on this topic can be found at http://wis.kuleuven.be/stat/robust

or Prof. M. Hubert (mia.hubert@wis.kuleuven.be; Tel: +32-(0)16-322023).

These research positions also require teaching duties (up to 4 hours weekly).

The candidates are expected to learn Dutch within two years. The position starts
September 1, 2010 (or later). The contract is for two years with a possible extension
for another two years (after positive evaluation).
