Description
The Department of Economics and Statistics is part of the School of Economics and is responsible for the statistics subject area and offers a PhD education in statistics. The PhD program follows a standard well-established structure that is common in Europe and North America. The program consists of 4 years of full time study where at least one year is entirely devoted to course work. The course curriculum includes courses in statistical inference, probability theory and other courses of relevance to the students thesis work.
The department covers all travel costs for students who participate in PhD courses at other universities. There is also the possibility to spend one semester at a university abroad. We offer supervision of high international standard within our areas of expertise and a stimulating and intellectual work environment. The PhD education is conducted in close connection with the Swedish network for graduate and postgraduate education in Statistics (GRAPES).
Assessment grounds
Requirements
Eligible for appointment as doctoral student are those who can be accepted for education at third-cycle level. The application for appointment as doctoral student will, therefore, also be processed as an application for education at third-cycle level. In order to be admitted to such education general and/or specific requirements are needed. In order to be admitted to education at third-cycle level in statistics the following requirements are needed:
General requirements
• a completed master's degree
• completed courses equaling at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 at second-cycle level, or
• equivalent qualifications obtained in some other way in Sweden or other country.
Specific requirements
• a minimum of 90 higher education credits within the field of statistics or subject fields related to third-cycle education in statistics, or equivalent qualifications obtained in some other way in Sweden or other country,
• a minimum of 15 higher education credits, on first-cycle level or second-cycle level, within the field of statistics or subject fields related to third-cycle education in statistics, including having written a written a thesis on either first-cycle or second-cycle level.
• demonstrate English skills of sufficiently high level
Within the field of statistics, evaluation of the applicant's ability to benefit from the education is primarily based on (i) scientific skills documented in scientific work, in particular the quality of theses on second-cycle level and other scientific work, (ii) course grades, particularly at second-cycle level, (iii) how the applicant's odds of succeeding are perceived by the staff within the subject field, (iv) evaluation from interviews.
Conditions of employment
The appointment as a doctoral student is limited in time. The appointee is evaluated on an annual basis depending on the progress in the third-cycle education. Given that there are positive evaluations, the appointment is extended. The total length of the appointment cannot exceed the equivalent of four years of full-time education at third-cycle level. The position is located in Växjö.
