Opening for a PhD Student in Biostatistics

An opening for a PhD student in Biostatistics is available in the HRB Clinical Research Facility jointly with the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics. The HRB Clinical Research Facility, Galway (CRFG) was established in 2008 and provides the infrastructure, the physical space, facilities and experts needed to support patient-focused research studies aimed at understanding a range of diseases and bringing the research work in these areas to the patient as speedily as possible.

The proposed PhD in Biostatistics is by research and will be of interest to students with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics or Statistics who wish to specialise in biostatistics and develop their skills in modern statistical methods in a Clinical environment.  For more information, click here

MSc. in Biostatistics (Research)

The MSc. in Biostatistics is by research and is offered in collaboration with the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics, NUI Galway. Biostatistics is a field of statistics concerned with designing, analysing and interpreting health research. Biostatisticians are needed in virtually all health sciences disciplines. Research areas which rely heavily on biostatisticians include clinical trials, observational studies of disease causation, surveys, evaluation of diagnostic tests and medical imaging studies.
