>Southampton Management School invites applications from suitably
>qualified individuals for full-time and part-time PhD applications for a
>project titled "Minimising emissions from global shipping through
>optimisation of ship sizes and routes for vessel fleets". The project
>will involve the use of mathematical modelling and optimisation, to
>better size global vessel fleets and to plan shipping routes to ensure
>not only economically viable but also environmentally responsible
>shipping.
>
>The total funding for the successful candidate will be £21,000. For
>full-time students, this will be paid at £7,000 per annum for three

>the PhD Programme, and upload the following documentation: academic
>degree certificates and transcripts, two references and English Language
>test score if previous study taken outside the UK not morethan two years
>old.

>Candidates must have interest in maritime logistics and transportation.
>Candidates should have a First or Upper Second Class degree (equivalent
>for overseas) in a quantitative discipline, an MSc degree in Operational
>Research, Management Science, or a related discipline, possess good
>programming skills, and demonstrate previous experience with mathematical
>modelling and use of optimisation software. Previous experience with
>simulation and research into logistics is a plus.
