About the Programme

PHD STUDENTSHIPS IN MATHEMATICS, STATISTICS & MATHEMATICS EDUCATION AVAILABLE FROM 1 OCTOBER 2020

Several full-time three-year PhD studentships in mathematics, statistics and mathematics education are available, commencing 1 October 2020. Studentships cover full-time fees, include a stipend (£15,009 per annum in 2019–2020), plus £1250 annual travel allowance. Self-funded part-time PhD study is also available for some projects.

Situated on the Open University Campus in Milton Keynes, the School of Mathematics and Statistics provides a friendly and flexible working environment for all its staff and students and holds a Bronze Athena SWAN award. We particularly welcome applications from women. The School ensures that every female PhD student is allocated a female member of staff as a point of contact and organises networking events for female academic staff and PhD students.

Several research projects will be available, covering topics in pure and applied mathematics, theoretical physics, statistics and mathematics education. Full details of projects will be available from the School's Research Degrees pages in January 2020. Interested persons are strongly encouraged to make informal enquiries to the Director of Research.
