POSTDOCGrenoble

Post doc position in the Mescal team of Inria Grenoble.

The overall framework is the analysis of Markov chains. More precisely, the post-doc will investigate simulation and sampling of Markov chains, in relation with one or several of the following points:

• improvement of perfect sampling algorithms of finite and infinite Markov chains,
• optimal coupling,
• estimations of coupling times and mixing times,
• relations between importance sampling and perfect sampling,
• execution times of Gibbs sampling algorithms.
