PhD in Scientific Computation - the use of programming techniques for solving scientific problems

Note this original position is now filled. However new opportunities may arise so please email inquires but only if you are an EU national.

A 4-year EPSRC-funded studentship is available in the area of Scientific Computation. The project will be a collaboration between UCL’s Department of Physics and Astronomy and Computer Science. The PhD will address a number of topics including:

1. Inverse problems such as developing highly accurate potential energy surfaces from high resolution spectroscopic data;
2. Determining uncertainties in computed cross sections for electron - molecule collisions;
3. Computation and handling of big data involved in molecular line lists.

The project will contain a significant part of code development and training will be offered on a variety of appropriate computational techniques and
underlying theory.

Informal enquiries can be made to Prof Jonathan Tennyson ([Email Address Removed])
Applications will be assessed as they arrive; the studentship will start autumn 2016.

In initial selection will start on Thursday 28 April 2016 and will continue until the place is filled.
