I would like to draw your attention to a PhD studentship, 'Type 1 diabetes in Northern Ireland children – epidemiology, risk factors and complications', being offerred by Queen's University Belfast under the Programme for Government scheme. The studentship begins in September 2008 and includes fees and a maintenance grant. The successful candidate will need to have (or expect to obtain) a first or upper second class honours degree and there is also a UK residency qualification. For further details of the scheme please click on the link: http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofMedicineandDentistry/ProspectiveStuden ts/PostgraduateResearch/PhDStudentships/ The project would suit a student with an interest in applying statistical methods in epidemiology. The student should have a primary degree including a considerable statistics component and strong IT skills. On successful completion the student could expect to get a job as an applied statistician in the pharmaceutical industry, a university medical faculty or the health service. Further information about the project may be obtained using the link: http://www.qub.ac.uk/cm/postgrad/details.htm or by contacting Dr Chris Patterson ([log in to unmask]). Students should apply on-line at http://pg.apply.qub.ac.uk/home/. The final deadline for applications is Thursday 22nd May, but earlier application is strongly advised as places under the scheme are limited. ------------------------- Dr Chris Patterson, Reader in Medical Statistics, Department of Epidemiology & Public Health, Queen's University Belfast, Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast BT12 6BJ United Kingdom
