Fully-funded International PhD Studentship in Pure Mathematics

The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics anticipates that a fully funded PhD  studentship in pure mathematics will be allocated in an open competition for a new, high-calibre PhD student commencing their studies in September 2021. The School is committed to promoting diversity, and we particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups.

Successful participants will have the opportunity to undertake teaching related activities supported by training workshops.

Applicants are encouraged to contact the supervisors of the projects they are interested in for more information. General information can also be obtained from Dr David Kimsey (david.kimsey@ncl.ac.uk).
