A funded scholarship is available for a doctorate student to carry out research in the area of visualisation, assessment and management of decision making uncertainty and risk. The scholarshiop is funded by EPSRC as part of their Doctoral Training Account (DTA) and will tie in closely with an existing project in collaboration with BAE Systems, NECTISE. For further details see: http://seic.lboro.ac.uk/AllPages.html?Page=350 http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/PostgraduateTraining/DoctoralTrainingAccounts/defaul t.htm There are two particular areas that could be investigated within the overall topic area. One focussing on the determination and management of uncertainty and consequential risk in a Network Enabled Decision Making environment and the other looking at the visualisation and human interpretation, and understanding, of such. The student will be supervised jointly between the departments of Design Manufacture and Engineering Management (DMEM) and either with Management Science (Prof. Tim Bedford) or Psychology (Dr Alison Sanford). Please apply by sending Alex Duffy ([log in to unmask]) with: 1. a brief description of your research interest (one of the above) 2. a current CV 3. confirmation that you meet the DTA student eligibility requirements (http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/CMSWeb/Downloads/Other/DoctoralTrainingGrantConditi ons2004.pdf)
