**The Department of Actuarial Science of HEC Lausanne is looking for a SNSF Doctoral Student**:
**Details**:
Starting date: February 1, 2024 (or to be agreed)
Contract duration: 1 year, renewable 3 years, maximum 4 years
Activity rate: 100%
Workplace: Lausanne Dorigny, Extranef building

**Salary**: according to the wage scale for SNSF Doctoral Students: 1st year CHF 47699, 2nd year CHF 49220, 3rd and 4th year CHF 50741 + possibility of Indemnity I (CHF 761./month) and Indemnity II (CHF 507/month) (in exchange of teaching assignments including exam supervision, administrative technical and research support for the faculty and/or department)
Supervisors: Prof. Séverine Arnold with co-supervsion by Prof. Michael Rockinger

**Description of Opening**:
This is a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) financed project with a specific topic: _Forecasting Mortality: Leveraging Cause-of-Death Data through Neural Network Techniques_.
So far, mortality forecasting involved time-series techniques using historical mortality. There exists however data on the causes of death which can also be used as predictor. Also, over the past years, improved forecasting techniques allowing for non-linear structures using machine learning tools have been developed. The aim of this thesis is to bring together all those components to understand the improvements that can be gained by their combination.
This research is most important for insurance companies and public health organizations to gain better understanding of the causes of mortality. As such, the project is of high social utility. A death due to a car accident does not have the same social implications as death due to old age.
Institutions involved:
Our future PhD student will be working in an international team of researchers involving professors from the University of Lausanne (UNIL, Switzerland) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW, Sydney, Australia). The position will be mainly based in Lausanne (Switzerland), but stays in Sydney are also planned for the student.
