PhD and postdoc positions [updated on 10 March 2025]

I will have multiple openings for PhD and postdoc positions in 2025 as part of my research group at NTU Singapore (in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences).

The positions pertain to the project "Learning high-dimensional (networked) dynamical systems" (broadly defined) and will be funded by a NAP grant from NTU. There is ample room for exploring sub-topics depending on the interest of the candidate. The focus will be on deriving efficient algorithms with provable statistical guarantees, using tools from: high-dimensional statistics, optimization, probability theory, approximation theory etc.

The duration of the PhD will typically be 4 years, while the postdoc positions will be for 2 years. Interested candidates who fit the criteria outlined below are encouraged to contact me via email along with their CV.

Please note:

PhD positions

The starting date will be either in August 2025 or January 2026. In general, it is good to apply online at least 4 months before the starting month (the earlier the better). Before applying, you should first email me sufficiently in advance (with your CV) so that there is time to arrange for an interview in case your profile appears to be a good fit.

Postdoc positions

The earliest starting date possible will be around July/August 2025 (but this is flexible) . In general, administrative formalities can take up to 4-5 months (in the worst case) from the time an offer is made, so the exact starting date will depend on this.
