3 PH.D. STUDENTSHIPS IN MATHEMATICS OR COMPUTER SCIENCE
Applications are invited for three fully funded research
studentships leading to the degree of Ph.D. in any aspect of
Mathematics or Computer Science. The studentships are available
for studies beginning in October 2000 to persons who are normally
resident in the E.U. Applicants should have, or expect to obtain,
a first or upper second class degree in a relevant subject area.
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science has strong
research groups in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and
computer science. In pure mathematics, the main areas of research
are in algebra, algebraic topology and symbolic dynamics with
particular emphasis on the representation theory of finite
dimensional algebras, of finite groups and of quantum groups and
on algebraic topology and its applications to dynamical systems,
algebra and analysis. Research in applied mathematics is mainly
in numerical analysis, and in particular in approximation theory,
the numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential
equations, in many body simulation and geometric integration
techniques. Research in computer science is in the areas of
algorithms and complexity, semantics, parallel and distributed
computing, software engineering, image processing and multimedia
computing. There is an active Graduate Programme.
Candidates should identify their preferred area of
research. Details of the possible areas of research are available
via the Departmental web pages (http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk) or the
Department's Postgraduate Brochure. The Postgraduate Brochure,
application forms and further details are available from
