Are you interested in advanced computational modelling and state-of-the-art scientific software? Join us in creating the Bayesian multiverse: a computational framework for robust statistical analyses, applicable across empirical research domains. The position offers the opportunity to work on the combination of state-of-the-art scientific computing and Bayesian statistics, and to contribute to an open-source scientific software library.
We are looking for a research assistant to contribute to the development of bamojax (Bayesian modelling in JAX), our open-source Python toolbox for Bayesian modelling and model comparison. Throughout your employment, you will have the opportunity to work with others within our group to see what modelling choices they make, and how our new Bayesian multiverse tools can help with this. There will be weekly meetings with the PI to discuss the project's progress and next steps, as well as bi-weekly lab meetings.
You will have two core tasks. The first is to implement advanced methods for Bayesian model comparison in JAX. These techniques will then be used to systematically explore alternative models for user-defined statistical problems. The second task is to construct an efficient search procedure for variants of a given model. Portret Inti Brazil
At Radboud University, I have the opportunity to concentrate on important topics like diversity and inclusion.
