STOR-i DTC Open Day, Lancaster University
Wednesday March 17, 2010
The STOR-i DTC at Lancaster University is a pioneering new 4 year
Statistics and Operational Research
PhD programme with substantial Government and industry backing. For
October 2010 entry we have
10 fully-funded studentships, with up to 50% more funding than standard
PhDs (equating to a
competitive graduate salary).
STOR-i offers you a new style of PhD training, which provides an
opportunity to:
be part of an exciting new group of researchers;
co-operate and interact with like-minded peers;
work directly with leading industry partners;
open up real potential for rapid career progression;
make a real scientific and industrial impact with your
research.
To find out more - come along to our open day. The programme for the day
will include talks describing:
- The STOR-i DTC
- What doing a PhD is really like
- Describing different research project areas
- Career opportunities in Statistics and Operational Research
given by speakers from industry
There will also be time to talk to some of our current PhD students,
tour the campus and meet
with members of staff. For those who have already applied for a place at
the STOR-i DTC there
will also be short interviews.
We have funds available to cover reasonable travel costs for students
meeting the eligibility conditions
for funding (http://www.stor-i.lancs.ac.uk/funding/). For those coming
from further afield in the UK,
we will also be able to arrange accommodation, again subject to you
