[APDIO] PhD Opportunities in Optimization and Operational Research at the University of Edinburgh

[Miguel Anjos <Miguel.F.Anjos@ed.ac.uk>]

Applications are invited for PhD studies in Optimization and Operational Research at the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh for the academic year 2023-2024. This is a 3-year programme with an additional year available for the completion and submission of the thesis. The students admitted typically have an MSc degree, or 1st class honours degree (or its international equivalent).

 

The School of Mathematics offers several fully funded PhD studentships each year. Students receiving School funding are awarded a competitive stipend equivalent to UKRI stipend rates (£17,668 per year for the current academic year) for a period of 4 years plus tuition fee waiver.  All applications received by 23rd January 2023 will receive full consideration for funding. Later applications will be considered until all positions are filled.

Why Study Optimization and Operational Research in Edinburgh?

The Optimization and Operational Research Group in the School is an international leader in the mathematical and computing aspects of optimization and operational research, with members of high repute, as evidenced by Editorial Board Memberships in major international journals, international research awards, fellowships and other peer recognitions, and memberships of prestigious international societies. The group members collaborate with several research groups in the UK and overseas, and are actively engaged in collaborations with industry and government.

Research Areas

1. Computational Optimization and Applications
2. Continuous Optimization
3. Decision Making under Uncertainty
4. Future Energy Networks
5. Integer and Combinatorial Optimization
