MRC Biostatistics Unit ====================== Two PhD Studentships ==================== Two studentships are available in the MRC Biostatistics Unit. The studentships are for a period of three years, commencing autumn 1999. The Unit has a wide-ranging programme of research on the application of probability models in biomedical research. Particularly active areas in which research topics are available are genetic epidemiology and statistical genetics, but other areas of research would be considered for suitably qualified candidates. Candidates should have a good degree in mathematics, with a substantial component in statistics and probability. A Master's degree in Statistics would be an advantage. The successful candidates will be registered for a PhD in the University of Cambridge. The Biostatistics Unit is situated in the Cambridge Institute of Public Health, a University building on a site adjacent to Addenbrooke's Hospital on the southern outskirts of Cambridge. The Unit has excellent computing facilities and close links with substantive research groups both locally and nationally.
