PhD Scholarship: Mathematics for Real-World Systems

University of Warwick

Qualification Type: MSc and PhD

Closes: 31 July 2023

Qualification: MSc leading to PhD in Mathematics of Systems

Start date: 25th September 2023

Application deadline: 31 July 2023

Funding for: UK Students for 4 years

Supervisors: Various

Project Description:

The Mathematics of Systems (MathSys) CDT is an EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training. It recruits enthusiastic students and trains them in the advanced quantitative skills and applied mathematical modelling techniques that are critical to addressing contemporary challenges arising from biomedicine and health, modern industry, and the digital economy.

MathSys II builds on the highly successful and interdisciplinary MathSys CDT that was funded by both the EPSRC and MRC. Our second phase focuses on two cross-cutting methodological themes that are central to complex multi-scale systems prediction: modelling across spatial and temporal scales; and hybrid modelling integrating complex data and mechanistic models. These themes pervade many areas of active research and will shape mathematical and computational modelling for the coming decades. The CDT addresses four application areas in (1) quantitative biomedical research, (2) mathematical epidemiology, (3) socio-technical systems, and (4) advanced modelling and optimisation of industrial processes.

MathSys is built around a closely knit, highly collaborative team of academics from mathematics, computer science, life sciences, physics, and statistics at Warwick with a strong track record in leading interdisciplinary projects. With its external partners and collaborators, MathSys develops talented, energetic PhD students to push boundaries and to make a tangible difference to the 'real world'. Our students have the potential to inspire new ideas, approaches and innovation and to become future leaders in problem solving. Building on the success of MathSys I, the MathSys II format is an ambitious cohort-based training programme that will equip the next generation of researchers with cutting-edge methodological toolkits and practical experience of external end-user engagement to address a broad variety of pressing real-world problems.

If you are interested in applying for a place on our 1+3 MSc leading to PhD programme in Mathematics of Systems, you can submit an online application via the University of Warwick Online Application Portal. The programme code is P-G1PF. Successful applicants at this stage will be interviewed to interview, part of which involves answering some questions designed to determine your level of mathematical and computational ability.

For more information, contact complexity@warwick.ac.uk.

Scholarship:

The award will cover the full tuition fees at the UK student rate plus a stipend of £18,200 per annum for 4 years of full-time study.

Eligibility:

Candidates should be eligible for home fees (typically a UK national). Applicants should have mathematical and practical motivation, and hold or be anticipating a strong First class degree (or a very high 2:1) in Maths, Statistics, or an analytical subject with a demonstrably high proportion of mathematical content. Most successful applicants hold a First (or international equivalent). The MSc element of the programme involves a significant amount of computation, and whilst training in this is provided, applicants with existing programming skills are more likely to be admitted.

How to apply:

Candidates should submit a formal application, details of how to do so can be found here https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/mathsys/apply/1plus3
