CENTRE FOR DOCTORAL TRAINING IN STATISTICS AND OPERATIONAL RESEARCH, LANCASTER UNIVERSITY (LUSTOR)

兰开斯特统计与运筹学博士培训中心（STOR）将满足当前解决这两个学科国内技能短缺的迫切需求。这些互补的数学领域支撑着广泛的行业，包括国防、医疗、金融、能源和运输。因此，发展这个以工业为重点的综合博士培训中心是国家竞争力的关键。结合我们的工业合作伙伴的投入，该中心的形成将提供一个研究培训环境，重点是方法论研究的动机和应用于重要的真正的科学/工业应用。该中心旨在吸引、培训和培养英国最优秀的数学毕业生的分析研究能力，从而培养一代能够通过学术或工业职业道路将其研究技能应用于工业应用的博士科学家。中心的主要目标是：(i)通过一个对通常考虑在该领域攻读博士学位的学生以外的大量学生具有吸引力的方案，增加国家博士招聘；（ii）培养能够进行高质量研究并对工业和科学产生重大影响的毕业生；（iii）培养具备在学术界或工业界迅速发展所需的广泛技能的高就业毕业生；（iv）透过跨学科的博士项目，促进科技资讯科技（STOR）界面的研究。该中心的长期愿景是，它将成长为一个国家级的卓越中心，为学术界和工业界之间的STOR博士合作培训环境提供一个可持续的模式，以更好地利用研究成果。

The Lancaster Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistics and Operational Research (STOR) will meet the current critical need to address the national skills shortage within both disciplines. These complementary areas of mathematics underpin a wide-range of industries including defence, healthcare, finance, energy and transport. Thus, the development of this integrated, industrially-focused doctoral training centre is key for national competitiveness. Combined with the input of our industrial partners, the formation of the centre will provide a research training environment focused on methodological research motivated and applied to important real scientific/industrial applications. The centre will be designed to attract, train and nurture the analytic research capacity of the UK's strongest numerate graduates, thus developing a generation of doctoral scientists capable of applying their research skills to industrial applications through either academic or industrial career paths. Key aims of centre are:(i) to increase national doctoral recruitment into STOR through a programme attractive to substantial numbers of students outside those who would normally consider doctoral study in the area; (ii) to train graduates capable of producing research of high quality and with major industrial and scientific impact;(iii) to produce highly employable graduates equipped with the broad skills needed for rapid career progression in academia or industry;(iv) to stimulate research at the interface of STOR through doctoral projects which span the disciplines. The long-term vision for this centre is that it will grow into a national centre of excellence for a collaborative doctoral training environment in STOR between academia and industry, leading to a sustainable model for better exploitation of research.
