Post-doc position to work on the EPSRC-funded project ‘Optimization Models for Interpretable Analytics’

I am looking for candidates for a post-doc position to work on the EPSRC-funded project ‘Optimization Models for Interpretable Analytics’.

Please, find more information:

The project will propose new methodologies to estimate models that deal with complex data, but are easy to interpret. In particular, we will focus on the three most important challenges in the area of banking: probability of default, time-to-default and loss-given-default estimation. Different notions of interpretability will be taken into account. They will be defined in collaboration with practitioners in the industry of banking and risk. Different definitions will be then be modelled as mathematical constraints and regularization terms, to be added to the mathematical programming problems involved in the model estimation.

optimization models and methods,
mathematical data science,
credit risk modelling,
Candidates with background in pure mathematics are also welcome if they can prove interest in transferring their theory to solve applied problems.

Kind regards,
