We are seeking candidates for 16 fully funded PhD positions, as part of the 2018 cohort of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in the Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE), jointly run by Imperial College London and the University of Reading. Successful applicants will have (or expect to receive) a first class honours degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics or closely related subject. All applications will be considered jointly by the partner universities.
The centre offers an innovative four year PhD in programme in Mathematics and its applications to weather, oceans and climate science. The first year takes the form of an MRes (Masters by Research) course, leading to a jointly awarded degree from Imperial College London and the University of Reading. The following 3 years focus on the PhD project, and lead to the award of a PhD from either Imperial or Reading. Places on the CDT offer full funding (fees plus tax-free stipend).
Successful candidates will choose, by the end of the first year, the particular area of research that suits their individual taste and talents from the broad areas of Analysis, Statistics, Probability, Fluid Mechanics, Dynamical Systems, Numerical Analysis, Scientific Computing, and will work on PhD projects. All projects will have relevance and applicability to research in weather, oceans and climate, and some of them will be in collaboration with a weather or climate forecasting centre or other industrial partner. Prior knowledge of environmental science is not a requirement.
The MPE CDT students will graduate with substantial, interdisciplinary experience in developing and applying mathematical techniques to challenging and urgent problems. They will acquire teamwork, communication, management and leadership skills through our close cooperation with our external partners from research institutions and industry. Integrated in the programme are a number of bespoke training activities and professional development opportunities.
Applicants are strongly advised to submit their applications as soon as possible but not later than by 15th January.
