[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 8 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 15,840 pounds 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
* Dr Gramoz Goranci (dynamic graph algorithms, graph sparsification, numerical linear algebra, metric embeddings), email gramoz.goranci@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 July 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.

Applicant Information Session
The School of Computing Science is running an Information Session for applicants, which will include:
* information about the University of Glasgow;
* information about the School of Computing Science;
* a summary of the scholarships available;
* how to make your application;
* videos from members of staff showcasing their research;
* an opportunity to ask questions on a live basis.

The Information Session will take place online on Wednesday 09 June at 12 noon British Summer Time (GMT+1). To register for this event, go to https://uofglasgow.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcpcu2oqjoiGNwZijbcGdwDIa91Wsyc5PyA. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing a link to enable you to join the meeting.
