EPSRC-funded PhD studentship

Applications are invited from eligible students for a 3-year EPSRC-funded PhD studentship to study any area of Applied Probability, Statistics, Actuarial Mathematics or Financial Mathematics. Candidates should have a strong mathematical background, including previous study of their chosen area.

British and Irish applicants are eligible for the full scholarship.  Other EU students are eligible for a fees only scholarship, i.e. no maintenance grant, and may be eligible for the full scholarship if they have completed their UG/PG studies in the UK in the past 3 or 4 years.

The full scholarship covers all tuition fees and an annual tax-free stipend which is currently £13,590. The studentship is available now and it is expected that the successful candidate will start as soon as possible.

Information about research activities in the relevant areas can be found on the Probability & Statistics Group website and the Actuarial & Financial Mathematics Group website.
