Studentships

The Centre is now recruiting for its fourth cohort, to begin study in September 2017. We are pleased to offer at least 10 fully funded, four-year studentships per year. Due to constraints from funding agencies, there are different rules for funding depending on your fee status. Funding is predominantly for UK and EU qualified applicants, but a smaller number of excellent international students may also be supported.

Applicants must have a good first degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Electronics, or a similar discipline relevant to the area in which they plan to work.

About the School of Informatics

The CDT in Pervasive Parallelism is a collaboration between the School of Informatics and the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC). The School of Informatics is Europe's largest computing department, highest rated for research and ranked 'excellent' in the UK according to the most recent research assessment exercises. The size and reputation of the School means that it is big enough to provide outstanding facilities for students which in turn attracts some of the brightest minds to study and teach there. The School has an extremely successful track record of generating spin-out activity, with an estimated 44% of all University of Edinburgh spin outs since 2008 emerging from the School of Informatics alone. Recently awarded a Silver Athena SWAN Award, it is also recognised as an institution with a commitment to advancing women's careers.
