The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is currently advertising PhD studentships funded by the MRC London Intercollegiate Doctoral Training Partnership.

 

I would like to draw your attention to those projects listed below from the Quantitative Skills for Large Data Sets theme which would be supervised by a member of the Medical Statistics Department and would therefore be based in this department. The project supervisors will be happy to provide more information - please feel free to contact the lead supervisor of projects that interest you.

 

Please see the website below for information about what the studentships offer, eligibility criteria, and the full list of projects:
