[DMANET] PhD studentships at the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow

The School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow is offering up to 17 studentships to support PhD research for students starting in 2021. Funding is available to support tuition fees for both home and international students, and in most cases to support living expenses at the recommended UKRI rate (currently £15,285 per annum) in addition.

Whilst the above funding is open to students in all areas of computing science, applications in the area of algorithms and complexity are welcomed. Available supervisors in this area at the School include:

* Dr Jessica Enright (graph theory, optimisation, algorithms, network epidemiology), email jessica.enright@glasgow.ac.uk
* Prof David Manlove (combinatorial and graph algorithms, optimisation, matching problems), email david.manlove@glasgow.ac.uk
* Dr Ciaran McCreesh (constraint programming, algorithm engineering, empirical algorithmics), email ciaran.mccreesh@glasgow.ac.uk
* Dr Kitty Meeks (graph theory, algorithms, parameterised complexity, counting complexity), email kitty.meeks@glasgow.ac.uk

Students can apply for admission to PhD study at any time, but to be considered for the studentships we are offering at this round, we must receive your application by 31 January 2021. For more information about how to apply, see https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/computing/postgraduateresearch/prospectivestudents. This web page includes information about the research proposal, which is required as part of your application.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact a potential supervisor and discuss an application before the submission deadline. See https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/computing/postgraduateresearch/prospectivestudents/studentshipinformation and https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/computing/postgraduateresearch/prospectivestudents/phd-projects for more details about the funding available.

Information session: we will be running an information session for potential applicants on Friday 11 December from 1100-1200 GMT. The session is intended to give you an insight into the research currently undertaken in the School of Computing Science, scholarships and other sources of funding available, and how to make your application. The event will take place via Zoom; to obtain a link, you must sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pgr-information-session-tickets-129903562051.
