A 3 year PhD studentship is available from 1st October 2014 in the Department of Mathematics at Brunel University (London, United Kingdom) under the supervision of Dr Silvia Liverani.
The studentship covers Home tuition Fees plus a minimum stipend of £13,863, for a period of three years. Exceptional non-EU students may also apply, but may have to pay the difference in fees.
This studentship can be taken up for work on either of the two research projects below.
The first PhD project is intended to contribute to the development and the application of Bayesian non-parametric clustering methods to epidemiological data.
The second PhD project focuses on Bayesian calibration methods for cardiac electrophysiology models. Calibration is the process of using physical data to estimate the tuning parameters in computational models.
Applicants should have a first degree in statistics, computer science, mathematics or engineering. If you are interested, in the first instance contact Dr Silvia Liverani at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
