A considerable number of funded PhD positions will be available from
2010-2013 in four U.K. universities:
LAncaster, Nottingham, Cardiff and Southampton (LANCS).
The U.K.'s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has
awarded the LANCS initiative grants to a total of 5.4 million GBP to
support
the development of research capacity in Operational Research
(OR) at these four collaborating universities. This, together with
Additional support coming from the universities themselves, means that
during the period 2008-2013, a 13 million GBP investment will be made.
The principal aim of LANCS is to strengthen and grow theoretical OR in the
UK with a particular emphasis on deepening our theoretical understanding of
complex and uncertain real world problem solving environments. The
initiative focuses on the following research themes: green logistics and
transport, healthcare, discrete and nonlinear optimisation, systems to
build
systems and heuristic understanding. LANCS will also undertake an ambitious
and far reaching collaborative research programme of industrial, scientific
and public outreach to generate maximum academic, commercial and social
impact.
Full funding and fee grants that come from the participant universities
individually will be available to the students. The grants might vary
depending on the qualifications of an applicant. The required background
and
further details for each applicant will be announced with each available
position separately by the relevant university.
