The position will be based at JKU Linz (Austria), within the Institute for Applied Statistics. If you're interested, or know someone who might be, please feel free to reach out to me directly at gregorhansmathes@gmail.com for more details! 3/3

There's room for shaping the direction, and candidates with backgrounds in paleobiology, macroevolution, science outreach, or related fields are very welcome. Strong quantitative skills and a PhD in a relevant field are required.

And by 'we', I mean an amazing team of scientists including @pimientoc.bsky.social, @kiessl.bsky.social, @jcsvenning.bsky.social, and @manuelsteinbauer.bsky.social

Based on a systematic literature review, we show that individual climate-driven events and ecosystem perturbations cannot be fully understood without considering the broader climatic context in which these events occur. 2/2

And in the midst of it all, my Marie-Curie proposal with Uni Vienna was accepted too. What a ride! 3/3

As if that weren’t enough, my Lift_C proposal at JKU (with the brilliant @erinmdillon.bsky.social as a collaborator) got funded and, after moving between countries with a pregnant wife and a toddler once again, I started that project in Austria today. 2/3

My supervisor learnt statistics by buying all the chocolate bars, entering the ingredients, weights, nutrients etc. in a spreadsheet, and calculating some very basic stats on it (e.g. PCA-clustering). He then went on to eat and grade them, and to build various models to predict the ‘best‘ bar.
