The Australasian Region of the International Biometric Society wants to attract enthusiastic and talented graduates, or near graduates, in statistics, mathematical statistics, biostatistics or biometrics, to career paths in biostatistics and biometrics. Research activity in the biological sciences, particularly biotechnology and medicine, has increased rapidly in recent years and there is a demand for graduates with ability in, and affinity for, mathematical and statistical aspects of biological research. The society is offering scholarships for suitably qualified students who intend to undertake a full-time fourth or honours year of study in statistics, mathematical statistics, biostatistics or biometrics.
Scholarships are for one year and are valued at A$1000. Applicants should be completing, or have recently completed, a third year of a relevant bachelors degree course, or equivalent, with majors in statistics, mathematical statistics, biostatistics or biometrics, and must have a strong academic record, potential for a career in research, a strong interest in applications of mathematics and statistics to the biosciences, and good communication skills.
