***Bayesian Spatial Modelling for Health***

This project will focus on Bayesian spatial modelling techniques to 
examine the association between measures of population health (such as 
hospitalisations and mortality) and socio-economic factors. This will be 
accomplished by developing spatial and spatio-temporal models which can 
allow for spatially varying coefficients, spatially adaptive priors, and 
spatial quantile regression. This project will be co-supervised by Dr 
Silvia Liverani (School of Mathematical Sciences) and Prof Peter Congdon 
(School of Geography).

For further inquiries please contact Dr Silvia Liverani at 
S.Liverani a qmul.ac.uk. This project is eligible for full funding, 
including support for 3.5 years’ study, additional funds for conference 
and research visits and funding for relevant IT needs.

Deadline for applications: June 30th, 2018.

The application procedure is described on the School website:

The School of Mathematical Sciences is committed to the equality of 
opportunities and to advancing women’s careers. As holders of a Bronze 
Athena SWAN award we offer family friendly benefits and support 
part-time study. Further information is available here. We strongly 
encourage applications from women as they are underrepresented within
