Applications are invited for two PhD studentships in Transport Risk
Management, funded by the Lloyd's Register Educational Trust and
located in the Centre for Transport Studies in the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering. The students will be supervised Professor
Andrew Evans, Lloyd's Register Professor of Transport Risk Management,
possibly jointly with other members of the Centre, depending on their
research topic.
The students are expected to work in the field of risk management in any
mode of transport. Students may propose their own topic within this field
or work on one of the following topics: criteria for the adoption of safety
measures; analysis of accident precursors as indicators of safety risk;
comparisons of safety management in railways and aviation; effectiveness
of railway train protection systems; road safety, especially in relation to
the safety of other modes.
The studentships comprise a bursary for three years, initially at £14,000
per year, together with College fees at the home/EU rate. In the case of
exceptionally well qualified and motivated candidates from outside the
EU, consideration may be given to covering all or part of the full College
fee.
The Centre for Transport studies undertakes research across a broad
range of transport related topics including safety, railway operations and
management, air transport, transport and the environment, transport
policy and regulation, transport operations, logistics, technology, and
transport demand modelling. Further information can be found on the
Centre's website at http://www.imperial.ac.uk/cts.
Applicants for the studentships should have or expect to obtain a first or
upper second class honours degree or equivalent, in a relevant quantitative
discipline (for example, Engineering, the Physical Sciences, Environmental
Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computing, Economics). A Master's
degree in a relevant subject may be advantageous but is not essential.
Potential applicants are invited to send a curriculum vitae to Professor
Andrew Evans ([log in to unmask]; Centre for Transport Studies,
Skempton Building, Imperial College, London SW7 2AZ) and to submit an
application form (which can be downloaded from
http://www.imperial.ac.uk/pgoptions.
Closing date: 12 September 2005
Valuing diversity and committed to equality of opportunity.
