SAMBa's 13th Integrative Think Tank delivers successful collaborative research
You’ll be working at the interface of statistics with applied and computational mathematics, and delivering high quality applied and applicable research. You’ll develop a broad range of mathematical, computational and statistical skills, and collaborate with industry, government and applied sciences. You’ll bring a new mathematical mindset to their challenges.
During the first year, you will define your own research topic to carry out during years two to four. A series of courses and opportunities will enable you to explore ideas and scope your future research in collaboration with academic staff and partner organisations.
We will prepare you for a career in research and industry, enabling you to connect applied mathematics and statistics. You’ll graduate with great problem-solving abilities, ready to work in the emerging world of big models and big data.
Throughout your training we will offer a wide range of activities to complement your PhD, such as conference and workshop participation, placement and secondment opportunities, and industrial and international collaboration.
SAMBa graduates move on to a variety of academic and industrial research positions, as well as government organisations. As a graduate, you’ll be well set up for a career in academia, industry, or elsewhere.
