PhD Studentships in Statistics and Probability
Applications are invited for a number of PhD studentships in the
Statistics Group, Department of Mathematics, Bristol University. The
Statistics Group was the only one in the UK to achieve the highest
possible rating in the latest national Research Assessment Exercise.
Studentships will be restricted to students of a high quality - the
normal entry requirement is the equivalent of a 1st or 2:1 at
undergraduate level.
In particular, we offer 2 studentships with 4 years of funding
provided by the SuSTaIn (Statistics underpinning Science, Technology
and Industry) initiative, to cover a 1 year MRes course followed by a
3 year PhD degree. Full funding (fees and maintenance) is offered to
UK and EU candidates, while non-EU candidates would have to supplement
their fees, though other funding opportunities are available to cover
this.
The department also offers a number of studentships for 3 year and 3.5
year PhD degree courses.
Study is based around research themes of Applied Probability, Bayesian
Modelling and Analysis, Behavioural Biology, Monte Carlo Computation,
Multiscale Methods, Nonparametric Regression, Optimisation Under
Uncertainty, Statistical Bioinformatics, Statistical Signal Processing
and Time Series.
Details of some possible PhD projects are available at the website
<http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/study/admissions_postgrad/stats/> along
with a PDF document containing more information concerning the group,
including eligibility for funding. Please contact the Postgraduate
Coordinator, Ms Yelena Liskevich <[log in to unmask]> with any
further questions.
Applications should be made on the official form, available from
<http://www.bris.ac.uk/prospectus/postgraduate/2006/intro/apply.html>.
There is no fixed closing date for applications, though we suggest
that candidates should apply before 1st April 2007, and earlier
decisions are possible.
