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

The School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow is offering several studentships to support PhD research for students starting in October 2026 or shortly thereafter. Funding is available to support tuition fees for both home and international students, and in most cases living expenses at the recommended UKRI rate (currently £21,383 per annum) as well:

To be considered for a studentship at this round, your application must be received by *31 January 2026*.

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

* Dr Jess Enright (graph algorithms, parameterised complexity, temporal graphs, infectious disease): https://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~jenright/
* Dr Yiannis Giannakopoulos (algorithmic game theory, combinatorial optimization, probabilistic analysis of algorithms, computational complexity): https://yiannisgiannakopoulos.com/
* Prof David Manlove (combinatorial and graph algorithms, optimisation, matching problems): https://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~davidm/
* Dr Ciaran McCreesh (constraint programming, proof logging, parallel combinatorial search, algorithm engineering): https://ciaranm.github.io/

Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact a potential supervisor and discuss an application before the submission deadline.

For more information about how to apply, see:
