The BSU is an internationally recognised research unit specialising in statistical modelling with application to medical, biological or public health sciences. Details of the work carried out in the Unit appear on our Research page.
We are currently recruiting for 4 (four) MRC funded BSU studentships and 1 (one) EPSRC funded iCASE studentship.
We currently have the following projects available at the MRC Biostatistics Unit. To apply for any of the following PhD projects, please visit https://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/training/phd/application-procedure/ . Deadline for all application information to be received by the University application system is Thursday 4th January 2018. All informal enquries to be directed to [log in to unmask]
