Are you finishing your bachelors or masters degree in a subject with substantial quantitative content? Do you hope to get excellent results? Do you want to develop solutions to challenging, real-world problems which can make a difference to business and society?
The Department of Management Science is part of the top-rated Lancaster University Management School (2012 Business School of the Year) and houses one of the largest and most influential OR groups in Europe. We are looking to recruit
- excellent doctoral students with a strong quantitative background (including mathematics, physics, computer science and engineering)
- who satisfy the UK residency requirement for full EPSRC support (usually met by those whose undergraduate studies were in the UK)
for doctoral study in any area of the department’s OR research portfolio. Successful candidates with a suitable masters degree will be awarded a 3.5 year research studentship while those with only a bachelors degree will be admitted to a 1+3 year programme which incorporates an initial year of research training (MRes). As part of your doctoral training, you will have opportunity to access a wide range of opportunities for personal and skills development, including association with Lancaster’s centre for doctoral training in statistics and OR (STOR-i).
