BRACE (Bristol Research into Alzheimer's and Care of the Elderly) Ph.D. Studentship 'Predicting the progression of cognitive impairment in memory clinic attendees' Department of Social Medicine
Applications are invited from graduates with good honours or Masters degrees in a numerate discipline, and extensive experience of applied statistical analysis, for a three-year Ph.D. studentship tenable from January 2008. The student will use anonymous data from the Bristol memory clinic archives to investigate whether neuropsychological tests administered at presentation can help identify individuals whose cognitive impairment will worsen. The studentship is funded by the BRACE charity (Bristol Research into Alzheimer's and Care of the Elderly) and includes a stipend of £12,500 per year, plus a generous allowance for research costs. It is anticipated that the project will require a comparison and choice between potentially useful statistical methods in a practical context. A demonstrated interest in health services research and Alzheimer's disease would be desirable.
