The University of Newcastle
CASE Research Studentship in Statistics
An EPSRC Mathematics Case Project between the school of Mathematics & Statstics and CPACT, University of Newcastle and BP.
Supervisors: Dr. J Q Shi (Maths & Stats, Newcastle), Prof. A. J Morris (CPACT, SCEAM, Newcastle), Dr. Z Rawi (BP Refining Technology)
Applications are invited from UK or EU candidates for a 3.5-year studentship concerning statistical theory and methodology for dynamic non-parametric prediction focusing in particular on complex engineering systems that exhibit varying batch data quantities with large dimension of input covariates. Further information about the project can be obtained from http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/j.q.shi/grant/epsrc-06-case
Full tuition fees and research expenses will be covered, and for eligible candidates a stipend starting at £15,300 p.a. (where £3,000 is supported by BP) will be available. EPSRC eligibility conditions apply; see details from http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/PostgraduateTraining/IndustrialCASE/FrequentlyAskedQuestions.htm
Applicants should have a good Bachelors or Masters degree in statistics, or in a mathematical subject with a substantial statistics content. The closing date for applications is 8 May, and a starting date of 1 October 2006 is anticipated.
The student will be based in the School of Mathematics & Statstics, and will be supervised by Dr. J Q Shi (Maths & Stats), Prof. A. J Morris (CPACT, SCEAM), Newcastle University and Dr. Z Rawi (BP Refining Technology). The student will be expected to spend some time at BP sites. The University of Newcastle has a strong tradition of applied methodological research in statistics and the statistics section was rated 5A in RAE2001.
