RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP (CASE) IN STATISTICS
Institute of Mathematics and Statistics,
University of Kent at Canterbury with Pfizer Ltd.
BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF GENOMIC MICROARRAY DATA
This EPSRC CASE award is in the exciting new area of DNA microarrays. It
is supervised by Professor Philip J. Brown of the Institute of Mathematics
and Statistics, U. of Kent at Canterbury, with industrial supervision at
Pfizer Global Research and Development, Sandwich, Kent.
The project will enable the student to blend Bayesian methodology with
statistical techniques applied to ascertain the function of genes in high
throughput analysis.It will provide the student with a thorough
statistical
training in multivariate analysis, Bayesian methodology and
computationally
intensive techniques. Techniques for regression and classification with
high numbers of variables will feature strongly. At the same time the
project
will provide a grounding in DNA analysis at the forefront of genetic
research.
Applications are invited from those with a relevant UK connection (see
EPSRC eligibility requirements) having or about to obtain an MSc in
Statistics or who are about to graduate or who have graduated with a
first or upper second honours degree in Mathematics or related degree
with a good proportion of Statistics.
Funding for an eligible student will be according to EPSRC Studentship
rates with a substantial additional industrial contribution.
A CV together with the names and addresses of 2 referees should be sent
to:
Professor P. J. Brown,
U of Kent at Canterbury,
Institute of Mathematics and Statistics,
Canterbury, Kent, CT2 7NF
