PhD in Environmental and personal determinants of heat-related health risks

[Elizaveta Semenova]

Hello,

I am currently recruiting for a PhD position in applied statistics at Imperial College London / School of Public Health, available to "home students" in the UK. 

The deadline is coming up quite soon (18 January), and I would be very happy to have informal chats with anyone who might be considering applying.

In terms of profile, I am primarily looking for statistics-savvy candidates. The project is likely to follow a causal inference direction, but I am very open to applicants who are methodologically flexible and keen to learn new approaches as the project evolves. 

Kind regards,
Liza
