PhD studentships (funded by the Science Foundation Ireland) are available in the School of Mathematical Sciences in University College Cork. These PhD projects will address the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations arising in the study of water waves. In particular, the project will focus on aspects of nonlinear wave-current interactions in the nearshore. The analysis will employ a variety of mathematical approaches, ranging from the rigorous analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations to some numerical studies.

The Department of Applied Mathematics has a strong research focus in the broad area of fluid dynamics, and there are close interdiciplinary connections between the Department and the Hydraulic and Maritime Research Centre (HMRC) in UCC, and the recently established Marine Renewable Energy Ireland (MaREI) research institute.

The PhD projects will be under the supervision of Dr. David Henry, and informal inquiries may be addressed to d.henry at ucc.ie.

All incoming PhD students in UCC will be registered in a structured PhD programme.

The studentship includes an annual stipend of €18,000, together with the full payment of annual tuition fees for European Union students. There will also be funding for international research visits and attendance at international conferences.
