Available from January, 2002:


A fully funded doctoral research studentship at The Centre for Census and
Survey Research (CCSR), University of Manchester.

CCSR is a lively inter-disciplinary research centre in the Faculty of
Social Science and Law. We invite applications for the following three-year
doctoral studentship with additional grant support through the ESRC CASE
scheme:

Race and population: a statistical demographic approach, collaborative with
Bradford City Council (Dr Mark Brown,CCSR, and Dr Ludi Simpson, Bradford
City Council)

Statistical methods will be used to extend estimates of demographic rates
to small area and ethnic groups.  Numerical fluency is important. Advanced
statistical or demographic training useful but not essential.

The full research proposal can be viewed at:

ESRC meets the tuition fees and pays a basic (tax free) maintenance grant
of £6,800 pa. The collaborating organisation pays an additional £1,375 pa
for CASE students.
