PhD student (or postdoc) position at the Institute for Employment Research in Nuremberg, Germany
by Joe Sakshaug 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

The Institute for Employment Research (IAB), the research arm of the German Federal Employment Agency (BA), is seeking a predoctoral or postdoctoral candidate with a background in statistics, survey methodology, or a related quantitative area. The successful applicant will work in the Statistical Methods Group (KEM) of the IAB located in Nuremberg, Germany. The primary activity of the candidate will be to collaborate with researchers from the IAB and the University of Manchester on the … [View More]development of record linkage methods for survey and administrative databases. The successful applicant will: 1) evaluate existing methods and new approaches for linking these data sources through empirical and simulation studies, with application to the German National Education Panel Survey (NEPS); 2) identify sources of error in existing linkage methods; and 3) develop correction procedures to minimize distortions caused by linkage errors. The scholar will be directly involved in international presentations and preparation of manuscripts for publication in academic journals. The contract duration for a PhD student (based on a 50% position) is 36 months. It is possible to increase the working time to 65%, but this would mean the contract duration would be shorter. For a postdoctoral candidate the contract duration would be approx. 30 months (based on a 50% position). Working time up to 100% is possible, but again this would mean the contract duration would be shortened accordingly. The IAB strongly encourages continuing education and the conducted research can be part of a planned Ph.D. thesis for a predoctoral student. Teaching opportunities are possible, but not required for the position. Criteria for selection include a demonstrated research ability in statistics or an allied scientific discipline, strength in computation and a good knowledge of the R programming language, strong interest in survey methods research, commitment to collaborative research, and excellent verbal and written communication skills in English (German a plus). Full health care coverage is provided according to the German public health care insurance system. Interested persons should send (1) a letter of application that responds to the research emphases and above criteria, career goals, and academic qualifications; and (2) a CV that lists educational background, relevant work experience, and publications (if any). Questions about the position may be sent to Joseph Sakshaug at joe.sakshaug(a)manchester.ac.uk or Joerg Drechsler at joerg.drechsler(a)iab.de. The deadline for applications is October 5th, 2015. The starting date for the position is November 1st (alternative dates can be negotiated). Application materials should be sent to bewerbungen(a)iab.de. The official job description and application submission portal (in German) can be found at http://www.iab.de/2928/section.aspx/932.

by Prof. Dr. Stefanie Eifler 07 Sep '15

weitergeleitete Nachricht ______________________________ Dear colleagues, We have exciting news. The International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) is pleased to announce its 2016 Roundtable Conference, July 19-22, 2016 at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development (MPIB) in Berlin, Germany, before the 13th Int'l Congress of Mathematics Education (ICME13; July 24-31, 2016, Hamburg). The Roundtable is co-organized by IASE and MPIB and sponsored by the German Consortium in … [View More]Statistics (DAGStat), the German Centre for Mathematics Teacher Education (DZLM), the European Commission’s Erasmus+ program (ProCivicStat Project), and other partners. Theme: The four-day Roundtable will focus on a unique theme: *PROMOTING UNDERSTANDING OF STATISTICS ABOUT SOCIETY*, aiming to advance current knowledge about ways to improve the understanding of data and statistics related to key social phenomena (such as trends in migration, employment, equality, demographic change, crime, poverty, access to services, energy, education, human rights, and others). Understanding of such issues is essential for civic engagement in modern societies, but involves *statistics that often are open, official, multivariate in nature, and/or dynamic*, which are usually not at the core of regular statistics instruction. Conference Goals: to contribute to the development of conceptual frameworks, teaching methods, technology solutions, and curricular materials (especially for learners at the tertiary/college and high-school/secondary levels) that can support and promote learning and understanding of statistics about such social phenomena. All submissions will be peer-refereed. One main outcome of the Roundtable will be a monograph containing a set of high-standard updated papers reflecting the discussions and work at the Roundtable; All papers and posters as well as teaching resources based on the Roundtable will be published in the IASE online Proceedings and future IASE Resources webpage now being planned. Thus, the results of the conference and emerging products will be shared with the larger statistics education community. Format and Submissions: The Roundtable will be a working conference, participation is by invitation (only). You can participate in one of the following four roles: Paper presenter [oral], Workshop/Demonstration Lesson teacher, Poster, or Discussant/Group Leader. See the conference website http://iase-web.org/conference/roundtable16 for more details about the four possible roles for which submissions are invited, and about the five key topics on which the conference will focus under the general theme above. All those who will be invited by the IPC to participate will be assigned a specific role by IPC, depending on the fit of their proposal with the Roundtable goals, program needs, and available space. More information: On the conference website you can also download the Conference Announcement, full Guidelines for Submission with more details on Key Dates, the submission process, contact information and where to send questions, etc. See other parts of the website for more details about the conference theme and topics, local arrangements, and funding support. Please take into account that at this stage we only have preliminary information on some e technical issues - the website will be updated as conference plans evolve. We look forward to your submission! -- Joachim Engel (Germany), Chair, International Program Committee (IPC) -- Laura Martignon (Germany), Chair, Local Organizing Committee (LOC) -- Andrej Blejec (Slovenia), President, IASE Joachim Engel engel(a)ph-ludwigsburg.de <mailto:engel@ph-ludwigsburg.de> [View Less]
