Positions at the University of Perugia - Italy

Ph.D. positions in Statistics are available within the Ph.D. of Economics offered by the Department of Economics of the University of Perugia. One position is reserved to students who already have a master degree obtained in a non-Italian University. All activities will be run in English. Knowledge of the Italian language is therefore not required. We kindly invite you to disseminate this information among your students looking for a doctoral education.

The Statistics group of the Department of Economics of the University of Perugia is very active. Research topics include:
- Multivariate, graphical and latent variable models
- Survey sampling and Small Area Estimation
- Causal inference

After a first year of courses with the aim of providing a specific training in mathematical and statistical methods for socio-economic research, students may choose the research theme that will form the main topic of their research. Students are expected to spend at least 6 months visiting a foreign University during their second year.
