[DMANET] LSE PhD studentships in Discrete Mathematics, Operations Research, and Game Theory

The Department of Mathematics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) invites applications for PhD studies supported by fully funded PhD studentships, including in the areas of Discrete Mathematics and Algorithms, 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 information about the faculty in those areas and their interests, please see www.lse.ac.uk/Mathematics/Research.

Applicants whose application is complete (including receipt of references) by the first deadline (*15 January 2025*) will be considered for fully funded PhD studentships. These studentships are tenable for four years and cover full fees and an annual stipend, which for 2024 entry was £21,237. The studentships are usually tax free. The award of these studentships is competitive, based on academic performance (typically in an MSc or equivalent).

For further details, including details of how to apply, please visit www.lse.ac.uk/Mathematics/Prospective-Students and www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/graduate/mphilphd-mathematics.

For administrative and regulatory questions, please contact Ms Annie Li s.m.li@lse.ac.uk.
