There are still a number of PhD studentships available in
Statistics and Probability at Warwick for entry in 2008.
These studentships are funded by EPSRC and CRiSM and will
provide a tax-free stipend of 15K (for 08/09, which is
typically equivalent to a gross salary of approximately
19K) in addition to UK/EU fees.  The CRiSM studentships
are not subject to nationality criteria.  For full details
please see

The Department of Statistics at Warwick was given the top
rating 5* in the most recent national Research Assessment
Exercise in 2001.  It is one of the largest UK
concentrations of researchers in statistics and probability
with an exciting mix of research topics and a vibrant
community of PhD students.

The research interests of staff are very varied and cover
most areas within Statistics and Probability (with a very
strong synergy between these fields), and more details can
be obtained from the individual web pages of members of
staff, at
