Mathematical and Statistical Consulting
Availability
Centre staff are available at certain times of the year
for work on small or large scale consulting projects.
Making the best use of our time
Assistance can be provided at any stage of a project. In order to
derive maximum benefit, clients should make contact prior to
commencement of the project. Useful advice can be given at this stage
about statistical, mathematical and computing aspects of the research
plan, including the design, method and analysis, anticipated results and
their interpretation, and, estimated time involved in this component of
the project.
We offer advice on preparation of research grant proposals.
Rates
-
External Clients: $376 (incl GST) per hour*
-
University of Queensland Clients: $276 (incl GST) per hour*
*The first two hours are charged at half this rate.
Note: These rates may be subject to change, and, if you
engage us through UniQuest, they may charge extra to meet their costs.
University of Queensland clients
In the case of honours and postgraduate students, the expectation is that
their supervisors will provide the necessary funds. With University of
Queensland staff and students, fees are sometimes waived if a written
agreement can be obtained over joint authorship (where appropriate).
Alternatively, we are happy to talk with supervisors about joint supervision
of students (shared EFTSU).
Statistical consulting at the University of Queensland
Some faculties and institutes within the University of Queensland have their
own statistical advisors, so you would be well advised to
find out if one exists in your faculty and to make contact with them first.

A very special note for our own students
Occasionally our own students come across this page. To avoid any
confusion, we hasten to point out that the consulting referred to on this
page is different from the normal consulting our students are
entitled to.
If you are enrolled in any course which Centre staff coordinate, please
visit them during their office hours.
However, once you graduate
and wish to contact us for professional help,
you will be charged for our services.
