applications for a Ph.D. position in areas broadly construed as theoretical
computer science with a focus on distributed network algorithms. The Ph.D.
student will be working in the research group of Dr. Sagnik Mukhopadhyay (
https://sagnikm.github.io/) within the Algorithm research group.
The University of Sheffield is a top 100 university with 99 percent of our
research rated in the highest two categories in the REF 2021, meaning it is
classed as world-leading or internationally excellent. We are rated 8th
nationally for the quality of our research environment, showing that the
Department of Computer Science is a vibrant and progressive place to
undertake research. The Algorithm research group is a rapidly expanding
group with a clear focus on engaging in topical research and cutting-edge
solutions. We aim to develop a fun and collaborative environment in the
group while maintaining our research excellence.
Known as the UK's greenest city, Sheffield is a beautiful and welcoming
city where nature and culture intertwine. The historic Peak District
National Park is only 20 mins away and there are enough activities in the
city throughout the year to keep one entertained and help one maintain a
proper work-life balance. Being centrally located in the country, it is
well connected to the other research hubs in the country, which can be
useful in collaborative research.
This studentship will cover tuition fees at the UK rate and provide a
tax-free stipend at the standard UK rate (currently £15,609 for 2021/22),
for three and a half years. International students are eligible to apply,
however, will have to pay the difference between the UK and Overseas
tuition fee. Generous travel money is included.
More information on the intended research area and how to apply is
available at

. Informal enquiries can be sent to s.mukhopadhyay@sheffield.ac.uk. The
application deadline is June 27, 2022.
