The Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford has a number of studentships available for entry to the DPhil in Statistics in October 2015. These include at least two EPSRC studentships and two Teaching Assistant Bursaries/Departmental scholarships,
of which one will be available to overseas applicants, and which cover both fees and subsistence.
Possible areas of research include:
1. Computational statistics and statistical methodology (including Bayesian statistics; statistical machine learning; Monte Carlo methods; graphical models; causal inference; latent variable models; algebraic statistics).
2. Applied probability (including stochastic analysis, especially problems related to population genetics; discrete random structures; models of random growth and percolation; Stein's method; network analysis).
3. Statistical genetics and bioinformatics (including protein structure prediction and evolution; protein-protein interaction networks; computational biology; stochastic models of genealogies and sequence evolution; mathematical models of the origin
of life; stochastic models of network evolution; statistical and population genetics, imaging-genetics).
The Department of Statistics will be represented at the Mathematical Sciences postgraduate open day on Wednesday 19 November from 1.30 pm.
