APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

At ATASS Sports, we apply cutting-edge statistical and mathematical techniques to forecast the results of sporting events, and this July we’re running a special PhD-level workshop to offer a unique glimpse into this exciting domain.

So, if you’re a PhD student or a recent postdoc in mathematics or statistics, why not come and try your hand at developing computational models for live sporting events with some of the leading researchers in the field?

During the two-day workshop, we’ll explore how statistical modelling can be used to predict sporting outcomes, and you’ll have the chance to work hands-on with real data under the guidance of our expert statisticians. And of course, you’ll also get to sample the very best of West Country hospitality.

Hotel accommodation and travel expenses will be provided, along with entertainment on the Thursday evening.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a competitive basis. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please send a paragraph explaining why you’d like to attend (200 words maximum), along with your CV, to [log in to unmask]. The closing date for applications is Sunday 17 April 2016.
