Applications are invited from well-qualified, highly motivated students for two PhD studentships in the Centre for OR and Applied Statistics at the University of Salford. The Centre is part of Salford Business School and 90% of output was rated “of international standard” at the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. With a healthy postgraduate population, the Centre offers many exciting opportunities for postgraduate training in Operational Research and Statistics. Students will have the opportunity to attend postgraduate courses that are available through the National Taught Course Centre in OR and the Academy for PhD training in Statistics.
The studentships are available through the EPSRC Doctoral Training Scheme. The studentships cover fees and maintenance for UK students, and fees only for EU students, for a minimum period of 3 years. The maintenance grant offered will be £14,000 per annum. Candidates should have, or expect to obtain, at least a 2:1 honours degree or an MSc in a numeric-related subject such as Mathematics, Statistics or Operational Research.
