Connectionists: Funded PhD positions at Oxford/Warwick

[Nando de Freitas]

The Statistics Departments of Oxford and Warwick, supported by the EPSRC,
will run a new Centre for Doctoral Training in the theory, methods and
applications of Statistical Science for 21st Century data-­intensive
environments and large-­scale models.

An exciting training programme is delivered by world-leading researchers in
Statistical Methods and Computational Statistics / Statistical Machine
Learning from Oxford and Warwick.  There are funded opportunities for
students to work with our leading industrial partners and to travel to an
international summer placement in some of the strongest Statistics groups
in the USA, Europe and Asia.

Applications are currently being accepted for the first intake of students
who will start in October 2014. The deadline is approaching:
http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/postgraduate_courses/course_guide/statistical_science.html
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/oxwasp and enquiries can be
sent to oxwasp at warwick.ac.uk and *oxwasp at stats.ox.ac.uk*<oxwasp at stats.ox.ac.uk>
.

Students will have, or be expected to obtain, a First Class Honours degree
or Master’s degree in a subject that contains strong Mathematics training
and have had significant exposure to Statistics or machine learning.
Students must be motivated to do research in Statistics for high
dimensional data analysis or for high dimensional modelling and become a
future leader in statistical methodology and computational statistics.

Thanks,
