I am writing to seek your help in circulating information about our PhD programme in Epidemiology https://ahduni.edu.in/admission/doctoral-admission/phd-at-school-of-public-health Please adapt the text below as needed to send to people who can help in circulating the information to potential candidates.

There is a growing demand for well-trained Epidemiologists, especially those with strong quantitative skills in academic as well as Government, nonprofit, and for-profit institutions. As you may be aware, Epidemiology and Statistics go hand in hand together. Studying Epidemiology will enable people with a statistical background to evaluate and impact the habits, risk/preventive factors, and health concerns of people and communities. Our PhD programme in Epidemiology https://ahduni.edu.in/admission/doctoral-admission/phd-at-school-of-public-health will not only give students expertise in an important domain, but will also enable them to learn data science and advanced biostatistics and apply their knowledge to conceive and design, analyse, and interpret research studies and address major public health concerns.

Epidemiologists can access complex datasets from hospitals, public health agencies, and research institutions to analyse real-world health patterns and gain insights into risk, preventive factors, and biological pathways using simple and advanced analytical methods. Studying epidemiology would also enable them to model the spread of infectious diseases. There is also scope to develop innovative study designs, and analytical techniques integrating statistics, epidemiological methods and data science. Importantly, a combined expertise in statistics and epidemiology will enable them to make a positive impact on human and planetary health.

The application portal https://auris.ahduni.edu.in/core-emli-au-develop/online-admission/portal/online-adm-portal/index.php#/ is open for the academic programme starting this August. Ahmedabad University awards full tuition fee waiver and financial support to full-time doctoral students. The University also encourages Indian and foreign students to apply for funding from external sources The financial support could be either University Assistantship or University Fellowship, or from external sources. We offer University Assistantships at INR 40,000 per month plus tuition fee waiver, and University Fellowships at INR 50,000 per month plus tuition fee waiver.

Please circulate this information along with the attached poster to reach potential candidates as you think appropriate. If you send us your mailing address, we can also mail you a physical poster to put up on your notice board.

Regards, Satvik
