Stockholm Biostatistics Graduate programme (SBGP) announces
5 PHD POSITIONS IN BIOSTATISTICS
Stockholm Biostatistics Graduate Programme is a collaboration between
Mathematical Statistics at Stockholm University (MS-SU,
www.math.su.se/matstat) and the Department of Medical Epidemiology and
Biostatistics at Karolinska Institutet (MEB-KI, www.meb.ki.se). At present,
MS-SU has 3 active PhD students and 6 senior scientists in biostatistics
and MEB-KI has 4 active PhD students and 7 senior scientists in
biostatistics.
We now announce 5 PhD positions in biostatistics. The new positions are
funded by grants from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF)
and strategic funds from Stockholm University and and Karolinska
Institutet.
Applicants should have a master level degree or equivalent in statistics,
mathematical statistics, biostatistics or related field as well as a strong
interest in medical/biological problems. Computational experience is an
advantage. The thesis work will be carried out in close collaboration with
scientists from the relevant medical/biological field. Some possible
projects for a thesis are listed below. For more details on a particular
suggested project contact the first person listed as project leader.
Each graduate student will either be registered at the Division of
Mathematical Statistics, Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University or
at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska
Institutet.
Applicants should send (i) a cover letter, (ii) curriculum vitae, (iii)
names and e-mail addresses of 2 references, and (iv) one-page statement of
research interests. In the cover letter, state preference(s) - if any -
among suggested project(s). The application should be written in English
and sent to:
SBGP,
Division of Mathematical Statistics,
Mathematical Department, Stockholm University,
SE-106 91 Stockholm,
Sweden.
DEADLINE IS APRIL 16, 2004.
