We invite applications for 6 PhD studentships available in the Department of Mathematics, University of Sussex.
Supervision is available in diverse topics in the following areas:
- Calculus of variations and geometric measure theory, Dr Filippo Cagnetti.
- Theory of partial differential equations and applications to mathematical fluid mechanics (two awards), Dr Masoumeh Dashti, Dr Gabriel Koch.
- Numerical Analysis and stochastic processes with applications to financial mathematics, Dr Max Jensen.
- Numerical Analysis with applications to evolutionary differential equations, Prof Charalabos Makridakis.
- Mathematical Physics, in particular the mathematics of Quantum Systems. Prof Michael Melgaard.
Each PhD studentship includes a tax free maintenance bursary of £13726 per year, plus a waiver of UK/EU fees for 3.5 years.
These are full-time studentships and the successful candidates will be able to devote their whole time to research.
