attendees
Applications are invited from graduates with good honours or Masters
degrees in a numerate discipline, and extensive experience of applied
statistical analysis, for a three-year PhD studentship tenable from
September 2008. The student will use anonymous data from the Bristol
memory clinic archives to investigate whether neuropsychological tests
administered at presentation can help identify individuals whose cognitive
impairment will worsen. The studentship is funded by the BRACE charity
(Bristol Research into Alzheimer’s and Care of the Elderly) and includes
payment of fees for EU students, a stipend of £12,500 per year, plus a
generous allowance for research costs. It is anticipated that the project
will require a comparison and choice between potentially useful
statistical methods in a practical context.
