 Research Studentships for October 1999
 
 
 The Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick is pleased
 to announce that there will be up to five studentships available for
 research students starting in October 1999.  These awards will provide
 full support for UK and EU students (at current EPSRC rates) or,
 exceptionally, part support for students from outside the UK.  The
 awards will be available for three years, subject to satisfactory
 progress.  In appropriate cases these studentships can also provide
 guaranteed underwriting for applications for EPSRC and other awards.
 
 The studentships will be awarded by competition amongst the
 applications received for admission as PhD students for October 1999. 
 Applicants apply to the University of Warwick Graduate School in the
 normal way - there is no separate application procedure.  There is no
 formal closing date, but it is expected that at least a half of the
 grants will be allocated by the end of April 1999.  Early applications
 are welcome.
 
 This "grade five" department is very active in research, and we
 currently have a dozen research students plus a similar number of
 postdoctoral research assistants.  Our research interests cover a
 range of theoretical and applied topics in statistics, probability and
 financial mathematics.  The Department is also heavily involved in
 applications and collaborative research through the Warwick Risk
 Initiative and Statistical Consultancy Unit, providing opportunities
 for interested students to undertake paid consultancy work alongside
 their main academic studies.  Paid undergraduate tutorial work is also
 available.
