Postgraduate Research Fellowship in Statistics 2019, University of Glasgow, UK

RESEARCH PROJECTS

PhD opportunities

• Environmental Statistics
• Statistical Methodology

OVERVIEW

With a sizeable complement of academic staff and postgraduate students, the School of Mathematics and Statistics is one of the largest in the UK. 

Our research interests cover several areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics. These areas are not mutually exclusive and there are considerable benefits from interactions between the different areas that enhance the research environment.

All our research areas are highly rated internationally and most members of the School have ongoing collaborations with mathematicians overseas and elsewhere in the UK. Many overseas mathematicians spend periods in Glasgow working with members of the School.

There are several series of research seminars with invited speakers from the UK and overseas. There is also a regular postgraduate seminar where our PhD students can develop their presentational skills. All this helps to generate a lively and mutually supportive research environment, which has led to the award of coveted prizes and competitive fellowships for several of our younger staff.

Research areas

The main areas of research are broadly described within the headings below:

Statistics

• Biostatistics
• Environmental Statistics

STUDY OPTIONS

Integrated PhD programme (4 years)

Our PhD with Integrated Study in Mathematical Sciences  is a four-year PhD programme in the School of Mathematics and Statistics.

Completion of taught Masters level courses in the first nine months will provide you with a valuable introduction to academic topics and research methods, whilst providing key training in the critical evaluation of research data.

Upon successful completion of the taught component, you will progress to your research degree. You will submit a thesis to be examined by the end of your fourth year.
