I am interested in epidemiology from a very statistical and mathematical point of view. Most projects (in my opinion) on findaphd are more biological in nature.

Do you think I should simply write to them and ask for a list of projects available and possibility of funding?

I am interested in a PhD in biostatistics / epidemiology and currently thinking of writing a good research proposal. Can anyone please suggest the format, length, and some useful links regarding this.

I can see them.

Titan, Mars, or the park near my house.

Can you emphasize a bit please?

Well said DanB. I have studied data analysis for my masters and some other subjects and project required basic statistical knowledge so perhaps I will be OK in PhD epidemiology or biostatistics.

I have a post-graduate degree in mathematical modelling. I want to do a PhD in epidemiology or biostatistics. Is it possible? Will I qualify for admission to a PhD program?
TIA

Open University is offering a PhD in a topic of my interest. Is it worth going to the Open uni? Will I have any disadvantage in getting a job after finishing the phd compared to applicants from other universities?
