The LANCS Initiative
(see http://www.lancs-initiative.ac.uk<http://www.lancs-initiative.ac.uk/>)
is a GBP 13 million project to expand UK research capacity in the foundations
of Operational Research (OR). LANCS is a collaboration between four of the
leading OR research groups in the UK (Lancaster, Cardiff and Nottingham
are joined with Southampton in the Initiative).
Applications are invited for a PhD Research Studentship that is funded
under the LANCS Initiative. The research project should fall within one
of the research clusters of the LANCS Initiative, which are
- Transport and Logistics
- Healthcare
- Optimization
- Heuristic Understanding
- Systems to Build Systems
Registration will either be in the School of Mathematics or in the School
of Management.
The studentship is for three years. It covers University tuition fees and
provides a tax-free stipend of over GBP 13,000 per year.
Candidates should have a First or Upper Second Class degree in a
quantitative discipline, and preferably an MSc degree in Operational
Research, Management Science, or a related discipline. Also, evidence
of English language proficiency is required for candidates not having
English as a first language.
For further information, please contact either Professor Chris Potts
(School of Mathematics), E-mail: C.N.Potts@soton.ac.uk; Tel: +44 (0)23 8059 3651;
or Dr Tolga Bektas (School of Management), E-mail: S.C.Brailsford@soton.ac.uk;
