The Department of Mathematics at LSE has openings for PhD students,
including in the areas of Discrete Mathematics, Operations Research and
Analytics, and Game Theory. We are seeking exceptionally talented and
motivated students with a strong mathematical background and interest in
combinatorics, discrete random structures, mathematical foundations of
operations research, discrete optimisation, algorithms, mathematical and
algorithmic game theory, and related areas.
For further information about the PhD programme, application procedures,
and faculty please see
http://www.lse.ac.uk/maths/Degrees/PhD_and_MPhil.aspx.
Applicants will automatically be considered for LSE funding covering
fees and paying GBP 18,000/year for up to 4 years. The award of these
scholarships is competitive, based on academic performance (typically in
an MSc or equivalent) and suitability of the proposed research.
Application deadlines for studentships are 8 Jan 2018 and 26 Apr 2018;
we encourage application in advance of the earlier deadline. Funding is
also available in Laszlo Vegh's ERC project "Scaling methods for
discrete and continuous optimization"; see
http://personal.lse.ac.uk/veghl/scaleopt.html.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the following
department members before submitting a formal application, and
preferably quite soon for the January deadline:
Discrete Mathematics: Prof Graham Brightwell <G.R.Brightwell@lse.ac.uk>
Operations Research including ERC grant: Dr Laszlo Vegh <l.vegh@lse.ac.uk>
Game Theory: Prof Olivier Gossner <o.gossner@lse.ac.uk>
If you write to several of us, please let us know that, or just do so in
a single email. We are happy to discuss your qualifications, research
interests, and any questions you have about doing a PhD in our department.
