University of Warwick is offering PhD scholarship in Computational Science and Engineering to start in 5th October. Candidates should hold a 1st or 2.1 degree, the ideal candidate will have a Masters Degree in the Sciences or Engineering, strong mathematical background and experience in programming (preferably C++). The PhD topics of interest are in the frontier of computational science and engineering and provide unique opportunities for professional academic or industrial growth. The application deadline is 30th April 2015.
Study Subject(s): Scholarship is awarded in the field of Computational Science and Engineering.
Course Level: Scholarship is available to pursue PhD programme.
Scholarship Provider: University of Warwick
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility: Due to funding restrictions this award is available for well-qualified UK or EU students. Other motivated students are encouraged to apply but will need to secure their own funding. Candidates should hold a 1st or 2.1 degree, the ideal candidate will have a Masters Degree in the Sciences or Engineering, strong mathematical background and experience in programming (preferably C++). Applicants with interests in high performance computing or any aspects of materials modelling will be given preference.
Scholarship Open for International Students: UK/EU applicants are eligible to apply for this scholarship.
Scholarship Description: We are looking for several PhD students with interests in the broad area of computational science and engineering. Areas of particular interest include but not limited to modeling of materials at various scales from electronic structure to continuum, exploring the complex microstructure/property/process relations for materials design, statistical and stochastic methods in computational mechanics, and other. Purely computational research topics are also of interest such as scientific computing, solution methodologies for stochastic systems, optimization and design in the presence of uncertainty, applications of machine learning techniques in complex engineering systems, and other. The PhD topics of interest are in the frontier of computational science and engineering and provide unique opportunities for professional academic or industrial growth.
Duration of award(s): The duration of award is 3 years.
What does it cover? The Scholarship will pay an annual stipend at the standard rate (currently £13,863) and tuition fees at the Home/EU rate for three years. Overseas students may apply and, if successful would be required to make up the difference in fees between the home and the overseas rates.
How to Apply: To apply for this post you must complete the online application form and quote scholarship reference NZ14. As soon as you have a University ID number you will be invited to upload your degree certificate, transcripts, CV and a personal statement that explains your specific research interests and why you should be considered for this award.
