Warwick Business School
PhD Studentship in Operational Research and Systems
Discrete Event Simulation and Artificial Intelligence
Applications are invited for a 3 year EPSRC funded PhD
studentship in Warwick Business School (to commence 2
October 2000) in the field of discrete event simulation and
artificial intelligence. The project, to be supervised by Dr
Stewart Robinson, involves the use of these technologies in
cooperation to aid the development of control rules for
manufacturing systems. The project is related to EPSRC funded
work (grant ref: GR/M72876) currently being performed by the
Operational Research and Systems group on modelling human
decision-making in simulations. This is, therefore, an opportunity
to join a lively, interdisciplinary research environment within a
prestigious business school.
The successful candidate should have a good first degree (2i or
above), and preferably an MSc, in a related area. Applications
are particularly encouraged from candidates with an educational
and/or employment background in Operational Research,
Operations Management or Manufacturing/Production
Engineering. Applications from candidates who would like to
study in other fields related to the aims of the EPSRC are also
welcome, in particular, knowledge management and networking.
The studentship, open to UK and other EU nationals, includes
full fees for PhD registration, a budget for research expenses
and, for UK students only, a maintenance grant (£6,800 pa) for
a period of 3 years (subject to satisfactory progress). Teaching
opportunities may be available after the first year. A course in
research methods and management will be provided.
