PhD Studentship in Mathematics
University of Bristol -School of Mathematics

Faculty of Science

The University of Bristol invites applications for a fully funded 42
Month PhD Studentship in Mathematics commencing 1 October 2013,
working with Professor Tim Browning on his ERC funded project
Frontiers of Analytic Number Theory And Selected Topics (FANTAST).

The studentship includes an annual stipend at EPSRC rates (currently
£13,590 p.a.), and covers the University's tuition fees for EU or
overseas students. Applicants are expected to hold a first class
honours degree, or international equivalent, in Mathematics. There are
no restrictions on nationality.

The School of Mathematics has about 95 members of academic staff from
over 24 countries covering three areas of mathematics research, and an
international reputation for excellence in each. It was ranked third
for applied mathematics, joint fourth for statistics, and joint fifth
for pure mathematics based on the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise
(RAE) 2008. It is one of the largest schools in the Faculty of Science
and currently provides around 70 postgraduates with a vibrant and
stimulating place to work. Fourteen per cent of mathematics students
were from overseas in 2011/12, one of the largest international
communities in the faculty.

Research Groups Research groups in Applied Mathematics include
dynamical systems and statistical mechanics, mathematical physics
(quantum chaos, random matrix theory, quantum information,
condensed-matter theory), fluid dynamics (complex fluids, experimental
mathematics, turbulence, waves, granular flows), materials science,
and scientific computing.

Research groups in Pure Mathematics include algebra (representation
theory of groups and algebras, homological algebra, algebraic
topology), analysis (partial differential equations and spectral
theory), ergodic theory and dynamical systems (dimension theory in
dynamical systems, dynamics of group actions, Teichmüller dynamics),
logic (set theory and the foundations of mathematics) and number
theory (algorithmic number theory, analytic number theory and
Diophantine geometry).

The Statistics group's research projects include the modelling of
random phenomena, methods for the analysis of data, and computational
techniques for performing this modelling and analysis. The
applications of this research are many and varied, ranging from the
analysis of solar flares to robot navigation, from the behaviour of
socially organised animals to traffic queues and from genetic research
to signal processing.

50th Anniversary PhD Studentships 2013
University of Kent -Kent Law School

Kent Law School (KLS) invites applications for full time research
studentships leading to the degree of PhD commencing in September
2013. These studentships are being awarded in celebration of the
University’s 50th anniversary. The funding for these studentships will
be available for one year in the first instance, and extended for a
second and then a third year providing verifiable progress has been
made (in teaching and research).

Successful applicants for the studentships will receive a maintenance
grant equivalent to that offered by the ESRC (£13,590 in 2012/13) and
a fee grant which will fully cover tuition fees, whether paid at the
home/EU rate (£3,828 in 2012/13) or at the overseas rate (£11,625 in
2012/13). Those awarded a studentship may be expected to do some
teaching on an undergraduate law module, at the direction of the Head
of School.

Research at Kent
Kent Law School was ranked the 6th best law school in the UK in the
2008 Research Assessment Exercise. It enjoys a pluralistic
intellectual environment for research, where theoretical and empirical
work, critical legal scholarship and interdisciplinary studies all
flourish alongside traditional legal research. Research
specialisations of our staff can be found at
http://www.kent.ac.uk/law/people/staff/academic_index.html.

KLS hosts a lively postgraduate research community. Some funding is
available for PhD students, including those without studentships, to
attend conferences and present their research. Students receive
substantive research training, through a research methods module for
all first year students, and further opportunities to engage with
critical scholarship through weekly postgraduate study groups, and
several student-led reading groups.

Eligibility Criteria
Applicants should normally have obtained, or be about to obtain an
undergraduate degree of at least Upper Second Class Honours level (2:1
or equivalent from other countries), or a postgraduate degree.

It would be an advantage for applicants to demonstrate how their
research will contribute to existing debates in their field, as well
as how the candidate will contribute to our vibrant postgraduate
community. We particularly welcome research proposals in socio-legal
and critical legal studies, and encourage applicants to reflect on the
methodology of their research from a theoretically informed
perspective.
