I am looking for doctoral programs of Statistics with faculty involved in
stochastic process analysis and sequential analysis.  Here at Argonne, there
is a program for cooperative research.  The program is this:  the grad 
student goes to through the University's program for three or four years and
then returns to Argonne for the dissertation.  The key however is the faculty
research advisor who directs the dissertation.  Argonne pays the department
while the student is working on the dissertation and as I understand some
departments let the research advisor have the money as part of his/her
research grant money.  The problem that I am having is finding American
universities that are willing to offer a TA or fellowship position for the
first 3 or 4 years that also has a faculty member who is willing to 
cooperate on the project.  Maybe I haven't done a very good job looking, but
I have gotten pretty luke-warm responses.  If I get no response from this
ad I will have confirmed my suspicions.  I'll also be packing my bags since
several foreign universities seem quite interested.  This is sort of
disappointing.  This country seems to be going downhill fast.  Gone are the
days of American dominance of the educational world.  Boy am I bitter.  Don't
let that rub you the wrong way.  Please, any faculty member that is interested
in this field respond.  This area is of the utmost importance to Argonne and
many other industries as well(by the way Argonne is an Energy research
facility--Nuclear energy).
