The Medical Statistics Department at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is keen to identify promising candidates for NIHR Pre-Doctoral Fellowships.
Fellowships provide funding for up to two years’ training in health research, including salary and tuition fees. The first year is spent undertaking a MSc in Medical Statistics or Health Data Science, and the second year working on a research project employed as a member of staff in the Department. Fellows will receive mentoring and support throughout the Fellowship from members of our Department, to enable them to develop their statistical and research skills. More information is available here https://www.nihr.ac.uk/funding/pre-doctoral-fellowship-round-2/23889
Supervisor(s) work with applicants to help develop an NIHR Fellowship application; funding is subject to the project being selected by NIHR. We offer exciting projects supervised by world-leading experts in statistical methodology. Areas in which projects could be undertaken include:
• Alternative clinic trial designs
• Bayesian analysis, genetic epidemiology, ‘omics’ data
• Causal inference
• Analysis of survival data
• Decision-theoretic models for policy decisions
• Statistical methods for analysing infectious diseases
• Application and development of methodology for analysing electronic health records and other big data resources
• Missing data
Alternatively, candidates can provide their own idea for projects if they have an interest in a specific area of statistics.
