Dear Colleagues- We would be very grateful if you could inform suitable candidates about the PhD studentship opportunities available within our EPSRC CDT in Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Non-Equilibrium Systems at King's College London. Thanks in advance and happy new year- Chris Lorenz EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Non-Equilibrium Systems (CANES) 10 fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships at King's College London Plus industry sponsored studentships Apply by 20 February 2015 for Sept 2015 entry (late consideration possible) Non-equilibrium processes underpin many challenging problems across the natural sciences. The mission of CANES is to train a new generation of researchers in cross-disciplinary approaches to non-equilibrium systems, focusing on the three key strands of theoretical modelling, simulation and data-driven analysis. It draws on a broad range of supervisor expertise in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Informatics, Computational and Systems Biomedicine, Earth and Environmental Sciences, including partners at Imperial College London, University College London and Queen Mary London. The training programme consists of a first year combining taught courses and research projects, leading to the award of an MSc. In years two to four, the programme will include open question sandpits, master classes, journal clubs and an annual retreat. Students will also be able to undertake internships at a broad range of industrial and international academic partners. Funding for CANES students covers course fees, a stipend for living expenses (ca. £16,000 per year), and conference travel and internship funds. The programme can support UK applicants as well as a limited number of students from the EU and overseas. Applications are now invited from candidates with excellent undergraduate or equivalent qualifications in any relevant discipline including mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, materials science, biophysics, geophysical sciences and computer science. A strong background in quantitative science will be essential for students to take full advantage of the CANES training programme. Please see www.kcl.ac.uk/canes for further details of how to apply. Interested candidates should apply by 20 February 2015. Applications received after this date will be considered as long as places remain. Informal enquiries can be addressed to the CANES Centre Manager ([log in to unmask]).
