Competition for fully funded PhD studentships (ESRC DTP Wales)

School of Human and Behavioural Sciences, ÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÌúËãÅÌ

Closing date: 3 February 2023 (1200 hours)

PhD studentship funding, supported by both the School of Human and Behavioural Sciences and the is available for excellent 3^rd-year or MSc students. Studentships start in Oct 2023 and are available in the areas of:

1. [For more info please talk to Gary Oppenheim]
2. [For more info please talk to Kami Koldewyn]
3. [For more info please talk to Ross Roberts]

Studentships are competitive and are offered on either a 1 +3 or +3 basis (i.e., including a taught MSc year, or not). To be eligible, you must have a first-class or strong upper second-class honours degree, or appropriate MSc degree. You will also need to name your proposed supervisor. Please contact the supervisor you want to work with before starting your application.

Deadline for applications is 3^rd February and includes a written research proposal, as well as a CV, cover letter, and two letters of recommendation. We strongly recommend you work on the proposal with your proposed supervisor – thus, it is better to start the application process sooner rather than later.

We encourage applications from anyone in the community - but are particularly keen to see applications from Black British, Asian British, minority ethnic British, or mixed-race British candidates (and by British, we mean home students, regardless of nationality).

The Nuclear Energy Futures CDT is a EPSRC funded centre for postgraduate training, bringing together PhD students from ÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÌúËãÅÌ, University of Bristol, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London and The Open University.

The Nuclear Energy Futures CDT combines innovative research and teaching, guidance from academic and industry experts and a supportive environment to help you make a better energy future.

The AIMLAC Centre for Doctoral Training provides 4-year, fully funded PhD opportunities across the broad areas of particle physics and astronomy, biological and health, and mathematical and computer sciences.

The CDT is built upon longstanding research and training collaborations between the universities of Aberystwyth, ÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÌúËãÅÌ, Bristol, Cardiff, and Swansea. In addition, Supercomputing Wales and the University Computing Academies provide bespoke support via Research Software Engineers and access to HPC facilities in a coordinated fashion.Ìý

Please visitÌýÌýfor more details about the centre and how to apply.

A limited number of positions is available for international students, including fees and bursaries.

Training

The programme consists of a substantial training component in the first year, including cohort-based training in AI and computational methods, to establish a common base. Engagement with ourÌýÌýis embedded throughout and includes a short-term placement in Year 2 and a further 6-month placement across Years 2/3. Transferable skills training is delivered via residential meetings, at our annual CDT conference, and in cooperation with the Alan Turing Institute. More details can be found on theÌýÌýandÌýÌýpages.

Research

Our doctoral training programme is constructed around three research themes:

• T1: data from large science facilities (particle physics, astronomy, cosmology)
• T2: biological, health and clinical sciences (medical imaging, electronic health records, bioinformatics)
• T3: novel mathematical, physical, and computer science approaches (data, hardware, software, algorithms)

While the themes are diverse as academic disciplines, in our CDT they are linked through the use of AI, machine learning and advanced computing methods. Therefore, a crucial role is played by knowledge exchange across themes via cohort training, joint supervision, peer-to-peer interaction and student mentoring. Research project are embedded within one of the themes, with supervisory support across themes, to develop new synergies. More details can be found on theÌýÌýpage.

Fully funded PhD positions

Fully funded PhD positions are available for students with a strong interest and aptitude in computational science and in one of our research themes. Positions are funded for 4 years, including the placements with the external partners. Considerable funding is available for training, workshop and conference support, as well as for a laptop and other computational resources. The CDT will recruit 5 cohorts, with a minimum of 11 PhD students per cohort. TheÌýÌýhave started in October 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively. For details on how to apply, see theÌýÌýpage.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 956124.
