Dear All
The Centre of Biostatistics in the University of Limerick, Ireland,
currently is looking for two able *EU *PhD students to apply for funding
in the IRCSET scholarship competition now underway.
Please see http://www.ircset.ie/ . The closing date for this
competition is February 16th. If successful, funds will be available
from October 1st, 2011. The stipend is EUR16k + EURfees +EURtravel
+EURcomputer =EUR25k pa in total. IRCSET will fund for 3 years.
The IRCSET scheme involves filling in an on-line application form with
10 parts (each with 10 points) and a score of 75/100 is usually required.
The parts are straightforward but one needs a good academic track,
reference, personal statement of interest , and a good project.
The two projects are:
A) A project in the pharmaceutical industry in association with Parexel
International to evaluate a new method of monitoring safety in
Phase IV studies.
The idea is to develop methods which are more economical than
registry based methods. Will suit someone with interests in Bayesian
methodology applied to Medicine.*
B) Covariance Modelling. Increasingly the importance of joint
mean-covariance modelling
is being appreciated. The student will develop new methodology in
this area with the
assistance of a research group working on this topic in the BIO-SI
(www.ul.ie/bio-si)
research programme. Will suit someone interested in longitudinal
data analysis and
mathematical statistics.
Applicants should have an MSc in Medical Statistics, Biostatistics or
Mathematical Statistics
and be competent in the R programming language.
Further details on the method of application are available from the
IRCSET website and
informal enquiries may be made to Professor Gilbert MacKenzie
([log in to unmask]).
More details are available on request
Best wishes
Gilbert
* Project A has already been approved by IRCSET.
