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 Apply by 28 April 2014 for Sept 2014 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, focussing on the three key strands of theoretical modelling, simulation and data-driven analysis (see ow.ly/vqCPG<http://ow.ly/vqCPG>). 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 (?15,863 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 http://www.kcl.ac.uk/canes/ for further details of how to apply. Interested candidates should apply by 28 April 2014. Applications received after this date will be considered as long as places remain. Informal enquiries can be addressed to the CANES Director, Prof. Peter Sollich ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>). ________________________________ Dr. Chris Lorenz Senior Lecturer --- Senior Tutor Theory & Simulation of Condensed Matter Group Department of Physics King's College London Strand, London, WC2R 2LS United Kingdom 020 7848 2639 (phone)
