Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Statistical Climatology and Hydrology research program, INRS-ETE, University of Quebec, Canada Job Description : The Canada Research Chair on the estimation of hydrological variables announces the availability of financial support for 3 postdoctoral fellowships in statistical climatology and hydrology at the National Institute for Scientific Research, Water Earth and Environment (INRS-ETE) starting in January 2010. Two positions are available in the field of the Estimation of Hydrometeorological variables and the third position deals with the development of innovative statistical downscaling approaches. In this context, the successful candidates are expected to rely on various methodologies such as copulas, GLM, GAM, multivariate models, regression trees, non-stationary models and/or other modeling approaches. A Ph.D. degree in Statistics, Atmospheric Sciences, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Sciences or Civil Engineering is required, but a Ph.D. in other disciplines with a strong mathematical and/or statistical background is welcome. The official language at INRS-ETE is French. However, most research activities are carried out in English.
