Much of the postdocs’ activities will consist in conducting research either independently or in collaboration with other researchers in the group on topics related to the theme of the training grant, to build up a scientific network, and to develop other professional skills that are necessary for a successful career in the Mathematical Sciences. The group members will assist, guide and mentor the postdocs in this process through appropriate interactions that will be adapted to the individual needs of the postdocs and to the different phases of their development. Particular emphasis will be given to the choice of a cutting edge research topic. The ultimate goal is to train a postdoc to have strong professional skills and expertise in modern Statistics involving objects, geometry and computing, and having these strengths demonstrated by a strong record.
