PhD in Poverty, Social Exclusion in Britain, 1968-2011, University of Bristol

 ESRC +3 PhD Studentship:� Poverty, Social Exclusion in Britain, 1968-2011: The changing profile of disadvantage (re-advertisement)

Centre for the Study of Poverty and Social Justice, School for Policy Studies, The University of Bristol.
Dr Eldin Fahmy & Professor David Gordon

This three year studentship is part of a 3.5 year ESRC Large Grant 'Poverty and Social Exclusion in the United Kingdom' which aims to improve the measurement of poverty and social exclusion, and to inform understanding of changes in the nature and extent of poverty and social exclusion since the 1999 survey.� This project will involve over 30 staff at six Universities (Bristol, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt, Open, Queen's (Belfast) and York) and two survey organisations (National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA)), plus many survey field staff.� For further details see: www.poverty.ac.uk

The PhD studentship will draw upon survey data generated by the current study, together with earlier national poverty surveys conducted since 1968/9, in order to generate longitudinally consistent data on trends in poverty and social exclusion at an individual and household level. This project will contribute to our understanding of changes in the social and demographic profile of poverty over this period and how this relates to wider dimensions of disadvantage and the policies intended to tackle it. The successful candidate will also have opportunities to contribute to the wider project, and to work closely with the wider research team.

The successful applicant will have a relevant undergraduate degree (2.1 or higher), or Masters degree in a relevant subject area. This studentship is offered on a '+3' basis and all eligible candidates must have completed a recognised ESRC research training Masters, see:
www.esrc.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/opportunities/postgraduate/eligibleoutlets/index.aspx

The studentship will commence in October 2010. We anticipate that the successful candidate will be eligible to seek an enhanced ESRC stipend for Advanced Quantitative Methods, see:
http://www.esrc.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/opportunities/postgraduate/AQM.aspx

Further details about the MPhil/PhD program and relevant application forms are available at: http://www.bris.ac.uk/sps/studying/doctoral/phd/applying/ or from Andrea Osborn, Graduate Research Secretary, School for Policy Studies, The University of Bristol, 8 Priory Road, Bristol, BS8 1TZ.� (E: A.L.Osborn@bris. ac.uk; T: +44(0)117 9546758).

Ph.D. Studentship, Statistical methods in the economic evaluation of health subvention

We have one three or four-year studentship joint funded by the MRC and the University of Bristol, to allow study of statistical methods in the economic evaluation of health interventions.

Two possible projects, to be supervised by Drs Chris Metcalfe & Will Hollingworth:

[1] The net benefit regression framework for estimating cost effectiveness in randomised controlled trials.

Incremental net benefit is a measure of cost-effectiveness that can be estimated using standard regression models. Consequently there is the potential to take those statistical methods developed within the regression framework and apply them to cost-effectiveness analysis. For example, it may be possible to obtain an unbiased estimate of cost-effectiveness in those patients who adhere to their allocated treatment, and to obtain accurate standard errors for data collected in cluster randomised trials.

[2] Optimising the statistical precision of economic evaluations conducted alongside randomised controlled trials.

The sample sizes of randomised controlled trials are almost always based on achieving statistical power for comparisons of clinical outcome rather than comparisons of cost-effectiveness. It is often assumed that randomised controlled trials are severely underpowered on economic outcomes, but there is little empirical evidence to substantiate this. Potential elements of this project include a post hoc examination of statistical power to detect an important difference in cost-effectiveness in published trials, and a prospective study predicting statistical precision in cost-effectiveness estimates based on pilot cost-effectiveness data.

The successful applicant will be based at the School of Social and Community Medicine at the University of Bristol, and will work within the MRC funded ConDuCT hub for clinical trials methodology research. The four-year studentship allows a year of training in clinical trials research for a student moving from a different area of application.

For more details and the application procedure please see the ConDuCT Ph.D. programme prospectus, available under “Other funding opportunities� on our postgraduate opportunities web page:

http://www.epi.bris.ac.uk/postgrad/pg.htm

Please get your application to us by Tuesday 6th July to ensure an October 2010 start. Later applications will be considered if the studentship is still available.
