2011 PhD Studentship in Pure Mathematics, University of Liverpool, UK

/ May 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited for a PhD student to work on higher spin structures on Riemann surfaces and their real forms. The project brings together the theory of Riemann surfaces and real algebraic geometry and has connections with modern physics. This is an exciting project in a relatively new area of real algebraic geometry, there is an opportunity for a student to start original research early within the studentship. The project is close to the areas of expertise of other members of the pure mathematics division at Liverpool, namely in singularity theory, algebraic geometry and dynamics. Thus there will be ample opportunity for the student to interact fruitfully with other graduate students, with postdoctoral researchers and with members of the department.
In addition to benefiting from individual supervision, the student will be able to take advantage of a range of masters level modules and research seminars, both within the University of Liverpool and available via the MAGIC consortium, to obtain a broad mathematical education at a high level. The project is funded by the Leverhulme Trust.

The studentship provides maintenance of £13,590 p.a. (tax free) plus fees. EU and international students are eligible, but note that only fees corresponding to the home student rate will be paid and Non EU students must find the difference from other sources. There is also funding to pay for computing resources and travel to summer schools and conferences.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 31 May 2011

International PhD Scholarship at Lancashire Business School, UK

/ May 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the Lancashire Business School. The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years. The aim of this PhD project is to analyse economic impacts of preferential trade agreements between the EU and the chosen developing countries. GLOBE computable general equilibrium model and the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) representation of Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database will be used to simulate various trade liberalisation scenarios, depending on the contents of the preferential trade agreements. The main focus will be on economic effects of such preferential trade agreements on developing economies. Depending on the applicant’s research interests, developing countries chosen can either be i-)Latin American, ii-) African or Asian economies. When deciding about the developing countries, the student needs to make sure that they are in Global Trade Analysis Project’s (GTAP) database, which is the main database that will be used for this project. Applicants will need to justify their choice of developing countries during the application and interview processes. They will produce a research proposal of not more than 2,000 words that outline and justify the proposed research question, identify any additional data requirements and detail the proposed work programme.


 Scholarship Application Deadline: 13 May 2011
