4 ESRC Studentships in Advanced Quantitative Methods in Social Sciences &
Health
We are pleased to invite applications for 4 ESRC '+3' studentships on the
South West Doctoral Training Centre's Advanced Quantitative Methods in
Social Science & Health (AQM) pathway. The AQM pathway is based at the
University of Bristol and these studentships will run from October 2012.
The deadline for applications is 17 February 2012.
The AQM pathway involves PhD supervision and core training on the
application of advanced quantitative methods in the social and health
sciences. It is run by leading academics from the University of Bristol's
Centre for Multilevel Modelling, Centre for Market & Public Organisation,
the School of Geographic Sciences, and the School of Social & Community
Medicine.
AQM is for social scientists who wish to develop their quantitative
research skills in order to address important substantive social science
questions, and in particular those questions involving secondary data
analysis. AQM is equally for researchers who wish to specialise in the
development of quantitative methods to address important but more generic
social science questions, rather than specific applications to a
substantive topic.
Applications are welcome from graduates in quantitative social science
disciplines and more technical quantitative disciplines like statistics and
econometrics. Applicants must have completed a Master's degree satisfying
the ESRC Postgraduate Training & Development Guidelines by 30 September
2012.
AQM is a priority area and it is expected that successful applicants will
be eligible for an additional AQM stipend of £3,000. Thus the total annual
maintenance stipend for 2012/13 will be in excess of £16,590.
