The PhD program of the Johns Hopkins Department of Biostatistics provides training in biostatistical methodology and practice, grounded both in the theory of probability and statistics and in advanced data science. The program is unique in its broad emphasis spanning the foundations of statistical reasoning through data science and in providing rigorous training in both real analysis-based probability and statistics, equivalent to what is provided in most departments of mathematical statistics, and in data science principles and practice.

The Department of Biostatistics PhD program prepares persons who have demonstrated excellence in mathematics, engineering, and the natural or social sciences to become research biostatisticians in academia, industry, or government. PhD graduates:

• Conduct and publish original research on the theory, methodology and practice of biostatistics and data science;
• Translate methodological advances into software and other tools by which to disseminate these into practice;
• Apply innovative theory and methods to the solution of public health problems;
• Serve as expert biostatisticians and data scientists on collaborative teams of investigators addressing key public health questions;
• Teach biostatistics and data science effectively to health professionals and scientists as well as to graduate students in biostatistics.
