PhD Opportunities in Statistics

The Department of Economics at the University of Southampton is recruiting doctoral students for programmes starting in 2027. The opportunity is designed for research-focused students interested in advancing their expertise in economics within a university department and doctoral training environment. Research supervision is available across applied economics , economic theory , experimental economics , macroeconomics , and econometrics . These areas provide scope for doctoral research examining...

The Department of Management and Engineering (DTG) at the University of Padova is offering two fully funded PhD positions as MSCA Doctoral Candidates within the Horizon Europe TURBO-IMPACT Doctoral Network. The positions are hosted by the Manufacturing Technologies & Metrology research group and address measurement and manufacturing challenges for next-generation turbomachinery. The DC13 project, Advancing X-ray Computed Tomography Metrology for Next-Generation Turbomachinery , focuses on the de...

Aarhus University is recruiting a PhD student for a project on dynamic flood exposure in Denmark and the question of where people will live as flood risk increases. The research addresses a major limitation in long-term flood-adaptation planning: projections often assume that households and buildings remain fixed in their current locations for the next 80–100 years. The PhD project will model how household location decisions influence future flood exposure and how these changing patterns can inf...

Kuehne Logistics University is offering a PhD opportunity within UNITY, a new research project developed in collaboration with the Kuehne Climate Center. The project addresses a central challenge in sustainable logistics: how accurate are transport-emission estimates, and what are the consequences when decisions depend on inaccurate estimates? The doctoral researcher will help develop a unified, open-source model for estimating emissions across all major transport modes. The model will bring tog...

Albert Salas-Huetos and the research group at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) are seeking PhD students to join an international and multidisciplinary research environment in reproductive, maternal and child health. The group investigates how nutrition influences reproductive health and fertility, including dietary patterns and nutritional biomarkers relevant to male and female reproductive outcomes. A second research line examines early-life health and development, including maternal and pate...

Baylor University’s Department of Biology is recruiting 2–3 funded PhD students for a Fall 2027 start. The research focuses on microbiomes and the ways microbial communities influence health, organisms, and environments. The group uses long-read metagenomics, microbial genomics, and bioinformatics to study diverse biological systems. Projects may address the relationship between microbiomes and childhood undernutrition, fish mucosal microbial ecology, and microbial communities in the built envir...

The University of Sussex is offering a funded full-time PhD in LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing inequalities , based in the School of Psychology within the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine at Falmer, UK. The project is supervised by Dr Ellen Thompson and sits within an interdisciplinary Wellcome Discovery Award focused on pathways to health equity for LGBTQ+ populations. The research will investigate the social, structural and individual determinants of health and health inequalities amon...

Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health is inviting applications for a Fall 2027 PhD in Biostatistics. The program offers advanced training in biostatistics and statistical methodology within a public-health research environment. Students can pursue research across artificial intelligence and machine learning, epidemiology and infectious disease modelling, Bayesian statistics, causal inference, spatial statistics, longitudinal data analysis, statistical genetics and genomics, clinical...

Leiden University is offering a four-year PhD project in complex networks at the intersection of mathematics and computer science. The research will investigate how mathematically tractable models can help explain important structural features of complex networks, including clustering, community structure, and degree heterogeneity. The project combines theoretical modelling with computational and data-driven investigations of real-world networks. The PhD candidate will work across Leiden’s Mathe...
