The
University of Bristol invites applications for a fully funded 42 Month
PhD Studentship in Mathematics commencing 1 October 2013, working with
Professor Tim Browning on his ERC funded project Frontiers of Analytic
Number Theory And Selected Topics (FANTAST).
The studentship includes an annual stipend at EPSRC rates (currently £13,590 p.a.), and covers the University's tuition fees for EU or overseas students. Applicants are expected to hold a first class honours degree, or international equivalent, in Mathematics. There are no restrictions on nationality.
The School of Mathematics has about 95 members of academic staff from over 24 countries covering three areas of mathematics research, and an international reputation for excellence in each. It was ranked third for applied mathematics, joint fourth for statistics, and joint fifth
for pure mathematics based on the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008. It is one of the largest schools in the Faculty of Science and currently provides around 70 postgraduates with a vibrant and stimulating place to work. Fourteen per cent of mathematics students were from overseas in 2011/12, one of the largest international communities in the faculty.
Research Groups Research groups in Applied Mathematics include dynamical systems and statistical mechanics, mathematical physics (quantum chaos, random matrix theory, quantum information, condensed-matter theory), fluid dynamics (complex fluids, experimental mathematics, turbulence, waves, granular flows), materials science, and scientific computing.
Research groups in Pure Mathematics include algebra (representation theory of groups and algebras, homological algebra, algebraic topology), analysis (partial differential equations and spectral theory), ergodic theory and dynamical systems (dimension theory in dynamical systems, dynamics of group actions, Teichmüller dynamics), logic (set theory and the foundations of mathematics) and number theory (algorithmic number theory, analytic number theory and Diophantine geometry).
The Statistics group's research projects include the modelling of random phenomena, methods for the analysis of data, and computational techniques for performing this modelling and analysis. The applications of this research are many and varied, ranging from the analysis of solar flares to robot navigation, from the behaviour of socially organised animals to traffic queues and from genetic research to signal processing.
