Doctoral Training Centre
About to graduate and interested in making an impact?
The Statistics and Operational Research Doctoral Training Centre (STOR DTC) aims to develop a new generation of researcher capable of creating an impact in these complementary areas. The STOR DTC is funded by a £4.3M award from the EPSRC and benefits from considerable support from leading industry and other organisations.
The centre will fully fund at least 40 students entering the centre between October 2010 and 2013. This funding includes a tax free salary and fees as well as supporting travel and equipment costs.
Students entering the centre will follow a four-year programme developed with the encouragement and involvement of several of the UK’s leading organisations.
The first year will consist of taught courses, projects and group activities designed to provide you with a robust grounding in Statistics and Operational Research (STOR) and develop key research skills.
Following successful completion of the first year, you will progress to a PhD during years 2-4, developing leading edge research in STOR. Many of these projects will have an industrial aspect, for example using real problems encountered by our collaborators to motivate and inform your research.
