Applications are invited for two fully-funded PhD positions in the Mathematical Sciences (Operational Research Group) and Business School (Management Sciences Group) at the University of Southampton, awarded on the basis of academic excellence to new students who will commence a research programme in Oct 2017. We are looking for applicants interested in the interface of Operational Research and Cooperative Game Theory. Knowledge on Algebraic geometry, numerical computation would be very desirable.
Please send any questions to Dr Tri-Dung Nguyen (T.D.Nguyen@soton.ac.uk<mailto:T.D.Nguyen@soton.ac.uk>). Successful candidates will work with Dr Nguyen: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/maths/about/staff/tn6g10.page (and to be co-supervised by another member from Mathematical Sciences or Business School, and possibly by Professor Shmuel Onn from Technion if the project involves computational algebraic geometry: https://iew3.technion.ac.il/~onn/)
INFORMATION ABOUT SCHOLARSHIPS
The studentships include a fee waiver to cover fees at the UK/EU rate, a stipend (currently £14,300 per annum), and £750 per annum travel and conference grant for three years (further support for conferences might be available from other sources). The scholarships are available to students starting their studies in Oct 2017. Home, EU and International students are eligible.
REQUIREMENTS
Scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis. Applicants should have a good degree (equivalent to a UK first-class honours or 2:1 degree) in Operational Research or a related discipline. Applicants should also meet English language requirements (IELTS 6.5 with no subscore lower than 5.5, or equivalent).
APPLICATION PROCESS
Applicants should prepare the following documents: (1) a brief covering letter that describes your reasons for wishing to pursue a PhD in the proposed area; (2) a copy of your CV, including your actual or expected degree class(es), and results of all University examinations; and (3) two academic references. These documents should be sent to Dr Tri-Dung Nguyen (T.D.Nguyen@soton.ac.uk<mailto:T.D.Nguyen@soton.ac.uk>) who will then provide direction for the formal application submission.
