About the position
The position is part of the research project “Prediction of genetic values and adaptive potential in the wild (GPWILD)” (https://www.ntnu.no/gjaerevoll/gpwild), funded through a Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council (ERC). A major goal of the project is to develop cutting-edge statistical methodology to analyse and make predictions from large-scale genomic data, which is currently generated for many wild animal populations. To this end, the project combines modern statistical methodology and builds on the current state-of-the art in animal breeding, human genomics, ecology and evolutionary biology. The post-doc will thus work with a cross-disciplinary team of researchers and can contribute towards the development of methods that will make an impact to better understand evolution and the robustness of wild anmial populations, with the ultimate goal to help preserving biodiversity.
The post-doc will work at NTNU in Trondheim, and the fellowship will be hosted by the Department of Mathematical Sciences (https://www.ntnu.edu/imf). The project is a close collaboration with evolutionary ecologists from the Department of Biology (https://www.ntnu.edu/biology) and the Gjærevoll Centre (https://www.ntnu.edu/gjaerevoll) at NTNU, as well as with international researchers in the field.
The successful applicant will be offered a 3,5 year position, including 6 months for career enhancing work.
Duties of the position
- Develop and implement new efficient and accurate statistical methods for genomic prediction, as well as for the decomposition of phenotypic variance into components relevant for evolutionary processes. This is done using genomic data from wild animal populations.
- Use the new methods to derive insight into evolutionary processes of the study systems of our collaborators.
- Core components of the research involve, among others, Bayesian hierarchical modelling, shrinkage methods, machine learning (ML) or dimension reduction approaches, generalized linear mixed modeling, and performing simulations using specialized statistical programming tools.
- Writing and publishing papers in international, peer-reviewed journals.
- An important part of the project is collaboration with evolutionary biologists, mostly at NTNU, but also internationally. The post-doc is therefore expected to maintain and nourish these collaborations, as well as disseminate their statistical research to a broader scientific audience.
- Participate in international activities such as conferences and/or research stays at foreign educational institutions.
- Teaching and other career enhancing duties such as mentoring PhD and Master students.
- The cadidate is expected to show a high level of initiative, motivation and independence for research and writing.

The successful candidate will join ND’s the Sustainable Immersive Networking Lab (SINLAB), a multidisciplinary team working on systems that enable users to become immersed in remote physical environments, observe them, move in them, and physically act in them, and experience the effects of their actions through multimodal feedback (audio, video, haptics). SINLAB conducts holistic research on distributed, real-time interactive and immersive systems, in particular on enabling a first-person presence in remote, augmented and virtual spaces. We work on overcoming the challenges of limited temporal and spatial accuracy of such remote interactions. We pay particular attention to the exploration of potential and limitations arising from the use of AI-based methods in predictive feedback.
The successful candidate will:
- explore how a combination of multimodal observation (audio, video, LIDAR, thermal vision) and physiological measurements (motion tracking, eye tracking, EMG, BCI, EDA, HRV) can be used to continuously assess the human experience of interaction quality, and
- how this assessment can be fed back into the AI-based predictor to tune its behaviour in real-time for a highly personalized and context-dependent experience.
This research will be conducted in collaboration with partners of the MishMash center. Specific applications in which the candidate will explore are (1) multimodal first-person presence in a remote environment through a robot, and (2) the co-creative collaboration between an embodied AI and one or more human musicians.
