Cooperating for Excellence in Research
ERCIM - the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics - aims to foster collaborative work within the European research community and to increase co-operation with European industry. Leading European research institutes are members of ERCIM.
Are you a researcher with a PhD eager to embark on a journey of international mobility and advanced training? Look no further! Our postdoctoral fellowships are designed to boost your creativity and innovation. This is your opportunity to acquire new skills in Computer Science, Information Technology, and Applied Mathematics.
This is a unique opportunity to advance your research career in a prestigious and supportive setting. You have until October 2, 2023 (extended deadline) to submit your application.
The ERCIM Selection Committee for the Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award unanimously selecteds Rianne de Heide, nominated by CWI, as the winner for 2023. An honorary mention is given to Denis Merigoux from Inria.
Dr. Rianne de Heide's research activity stands out for its quality and breadth. Her work covers a wide variety of topics within the general field of mathematical statistics, with focus on learning from data. In her work, Bayesian learning is used as a tool, sometimes critically evaluated, sometimes extended, always with a strong mathematical-theoretical component. Her work reaches breadth by (a) the aspects of learning from data/statistics that are studied: optional stopping, misspecification (statistics with incorrect but useful models), philosophical problems in induction, bandits, and (b) the scope across various other disciplines: philosophy and logic, psychology, and machine learning and AI.
