PhD in Statistics Call for applications for PhD student positions

Within the PhD School at Bocconi University, the four-year PhD program in Statistics provides a solid grounding for high level research in statistics, probability and data science.

The curricula is organized over two years of courses and two years entirely devoted to research. Students acquire a deep methodological preparation through the first-year courses, which cover the fundamentals of probability and statistics. Specialized competence is acquired through the second-year courses, which are already focused on the doctoral thesis project. Both theoretical and applied research, including methods for machine learning and data science, are supported and encouraged. Dedicated mentorship is offered to students throughout their time at Bocconi. Multidisciplinary interchange with other graduate programs in Bocconi?s PhD School, as well as research experience abroad, are encouraged. The program includes monographic courses held by visiting professors from the most prestigious Universities and research institutions.

The Ph.D. in Statistics is designed for highly motivated students who wish to undertake first rate research careers in theoretical or applied statistics and data science. Career opportunities also include central banks, financial institutions, governments and international organizations, and public health institutions.

Highly qualified and motivated students with M.Sc. degrees in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, as well as other quantitatively-oriented fields, are encouraged to apply for admission.

Applicants should hold or be on their way to hold a graduate degree or equivalent.

The Bocconi PhD School offers at least 4 student positions with fellowship for the PhD in Statistics and further positions with fellowship or tuition waiver are possibly available.
