Overview
Applications are invited for one PhD position to work on an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), UK funded project. Environmental, financial and economic decisions in airport operations cannot be taken in isolation because choices made today will impact on the future decisions, and because we must account for the relationship between present and future outcomes of the decision process.
Working closely with Manchester Airport, the objective of the research is to develop an airports environment investment toolkit that considers the environmental, economic and financial impacts of key technological options in achieving lower lifecycle environmental and climate impacts and improving air quality in airport environments. It is anticipated that the toolkit will be a valuable design and planning decision-making tool for airport operators.
The optimal levels of investment of each intervention option and the creation of financial models to simulate actual portfolio of environmental investments will be developed at the Centre for Transport Studies of the University College London under the supervision of Dr. F. Medda. There will be opportunities for multi-disciplinary training of doctoral candidates with the University of Cambridge and the University of Manchester and close industrial collaboration in this project.
Requirements for Applicantion
The applicant should possess a good honours degree (1st Class or 2:1 minimum) in any of the following disciplines: Economics, Finance, Mathematics and any related field. It is beneficial if applicants have experience in numerical modelling and statistical analysis.
Due to funding requirements, only UK/EU citizens can be considered.
The applicants should include the UCL Postgraduate Application form (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/admission/graduate-study/application-admission/, an updated CV and a short covering letter as to why they think this project will further their own research interests.
Value of this position
The post will be available from December 2009.
All the fees will be paid for only UK and EU nationals. The studentship lasting for three years will cover tuition fees at home rate plus standard living expenses of between £14500-16000 per annum.
Application deadline: 30 November 2009
Applicants should send their forms to:
Dr Francesca Medda
Centre for Transport Studies
University College London
Gower Street, WC1E 6BT
