JOB OPENING: Postdoctoral Position in Mathematics/Space Physics at the 
University of Oulu, Finland

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in a project "Data-Driven 
Identification of Dynamical Systems with Applications in Space Physics". 
The position is in the Research Unit of Mathematical Sciences, but the 
work will be carried out in close collaboration with researchers in the 
Research Unit of Space Physics and Astronomy.

We combine classical and numerical methods from the theory of 
differential equations and inverse problems with new emerging tools in 
computational data science including Approximative Bayesian Computation 
to obtain interpretable learning systems capable of predicting complex 
physical processes. The research will concentrate on developing and 
applying methodologies of data science and artificial intelligence to 
tackle research problems related to space climate and space weather. The 
postdoctoral position is for 3 years, starting in May 2020 or as soon as 
possible thereafter. The candidate should have PhD in Computational or 
Applied Mathematics, Statistics or Physics or a related field.

We offer an interesting and versatile position in a novel, 
multi-disciplinary project combining cutting edge mathematical research 
with solar-terrestrial science, as well as the possibility to develop 
professionally in a supportive and enthusiastic environment. University 
of Oulu offers the working benefits typical of a large organization with 
flexible working hours, excellent work-life balance and occupational 
healthcare services.
