4 ESRC Studentships in Advanced Quantitative Methods in Social Sciences &
Health
We are pleased to invite applications for 4 ESRC '+3' studentships on the
SWDTC's Advanced Quantitative Methods in Social Science & Health (AQM)
pathway. The AQM pathway is based at the University of Bristol and these
studentships will run from October 2013. The deadline for applications is
14 February 2013.
The AQM pathway involves PhD supervision and core training on the
application of advanced quantitative methods in the social and health
sciences. It is run by leading academics from the University of Bristol's
Centre for Multilevel Modelling, Centre for Market & Public Organisation,
the School of Geographic Sciences, and the School of Social & Community
Medicine.
AQM is for:
- Social scientists who wish to develop their quantitative research skills
in order to address substantive problems, and particularly those involving
secondary data analysis.
- Statistical researchers who wish to specialise in the development and
application of statistical methods to address important issues in the
social sciences.
Applications are welcome from graduates in quantitative social science
disciplines and more technical quantitative disciplines like statistics and
econometrics. Applicants must have completed a Master's degree satisfying
the ESRC Postgraduate Training & Development Guidelines by 30 September
2013.
AQM is a priority area and successful applicants will be eligible for an
additional £3,000, making a total annual maintenance stipend of £16,590.
