[DMANET] PhD positions in Mathematics at LSE

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/study-at-lse/Graduate/Degree-programmes-2020/MPhilPhD-Mathematics

Applicants will automatically be considered for LSE funding covering
fees and paying GBP 18,000/year (approximately EUR 21,000 or USD
23,000) 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. The first (of
two) application deadline for funding is 10 January 2020; by this time
a complete application with references must have been submitted.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the following
department faculty members, well in advance of the deadline, to
discuss their qualifications and research interests before submitting
a formal application:

Discrete Mathematics: Prof Jozef Skokan <J.Skokan@lse.ac.uk>
Operations Research: Dr Giacomo Zambelli <G.Zambelli@lse.ac.uk>
Game Theory: Prof Olivier Gossner <O.Gossner@lse.ac.uk>

It is fine if you wish to write to several of us (and/or our
colleagues), but then please do so in a single email.
