The Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at University of California San Diego (UCSD) is pleased to announce a new PhD program in Biostatistics, starting Fall 2016. The Division sits within the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health at the research intensive UCSD School of Medicine, which has research funding of nearly $1 billion annually. The Division has a robust record of outstanding research in both methodological biostatistics and in interdisciplinary, collaborative biomedical research.
This new Biostatistics PhD program is distinguished by its high mathematical content and rigorous technical training in theory and methods, as well as training in computation and data analysis and practical collaborative skills. We aim to train the next generation of biostatisticians in the mathematical theory, computational skills, and inferential methods needed to analyze large and complex biomedical data. More information can be found at http://biostat.ucsd.edu/phd-program/index.html
We encourage applications from highly motivated individuals with a strong mathematical background and deep interest in analytic problems in biology, medicine and/or public health.
Applications will be accepted October 1, 2015- January 6, 2016. Please apply at: https://apply.grad.ucsd.edu/home
