A considerable number of funded PhD positions will be available from
2010-2013 in four U.K. universities:
LAncaster, Nottingham, Cardiff and Southampton (LANCS).
The U.K.'s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)has
awarded the LANCS initiative grants to a total of 5.4 million GBP to
support the development of research capacity in Operational Research
(OR) at these four collaborating universities. This, together with
Additional support coming from the universities themselves, means that
during the period 2008-2013, a 13 million GBP investment will be made.
The principal aim of LANCS is to strengthen and grow theoretical OR in
the UK with a particular emphasis on deepening our theoretical
understanding of complex and uncertain real world problem solving
environments. The initiative focuses on the following research themes:
green logistics and transport, healthcare, discrete and nonlinear
optimisation, systems to build systems and heuristic understanding.
LANCS will also undertake an ambitious and far reaching collaborative
research programme of industrial, scientific and public outreach to
generate maximum academic, commercial and social impact.
Full funding and fee grants that come from the participant universities
individually will be available to the students. The grants might vary
depending on the qualifications of an applicant. The required background
and further details for each applicant will be announced with each
available position separately by the relevant university.
