Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
The Department of Mathematics invites applications from enthusiastic well-qualified students for a fully-funded 3.5 year PhD studentship in any aspect of the theory of water waves. Candidates interested in application of water wave theory to ocean wave energy extraction are particularly welcome. The successful candidate will join an enthusiastic and friendly department with an excellent international reputation and a lively community of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.
Research Environment.
The successful candidate will join a group in the area of “Fluid Mechanics and Meteorology” with research directions in a number of areas: data assimilation, fluid sloshing, dynamics of nonlinear waves, pattern formation, geometric fluid dynamics, geometric mechanics, hydrodynamic stability and a range of topics in the theory of water waves.
The FMM group is part of the Department of Mathematics, and the research interests of the Department cut a broad swathe through both pure and applied areas of mathematics, ranging from analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations, dynamical systems, and geometry to quantum field theory, general relativity, string theory, fluid dynamics, complex systems, mathematical biology, statistics, and modelling in the life sciences. Research in the Department is organised into four research groups and the other 3 are: Dynamical Systems & PDEs, Biosystems, and Fields, Strings & Geometry. Details about our research, our academic and industrial partners, and our PhD Programme (including its training component) can be found at http://www.surrey.ac.uk/maths/research and http://www.surrey.ac.uk/maths/study/pgr/.
Entry Requirements.
A good MMath, MSc degree or a first class honours degree in mathematics, physical sciences or engineering are welcome.
How to Apply.
Applicants should complete the on-line application form at http://www.surrey.ac.uk/postgraduate/courses/physicalsciences/mathematics-phd/.
This application must be accompanied by the following:
• Cover letter (one A4 page maximum)
• CV including names of academic referees (two A4 pages maximum)
• Personal statement including research interests and experience (one A4 page maximum)
• Copy of certified transcript including expected or actual degree class (no page limit)
Accepted minimum font size is 11pt. Once the application form is completed, applicants should confirm their submission by e-mail to [Email Address Removed].
For full consideration, applications should be received no later than Friday, 14th of June 2013.
