I'm interested in quantitative social science research, and was wondering whether a PhD in Statistics would be appropriate. Ideally, I would do a PhD in Applied Statistics, but I can't seem to find such programs. Many PhD in Statistics programs heavily emphasize proof-based theory, but I'm much more interested in methodology and application. I was initially thinking an econ phd, but their methodology doesn't incorporate some stat topics I'm intersted in (little bayesian outside finance, not much multilevel modeling, no machine learning, etc.).
