Overview
Two PhD studentships are available, with candidates encouraged in all areas of Computer Science that are currently active at the School of Computing at Leeds University (http://www.engineering.leeds.ac.uk/comp/research).
These centre on Artificial Intelligence and Biological Systems (including Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision and Medical Imaging, Knowledge representation and reasoning, Scheduling, Biosystems) and Computational and Systems Science (including Algorithms and Complexity, Distributed Systems and Services, Scientific Computation, Visualization and Virtual Reality, Web Science).
Each candidate must note the research area they want to apply for on the application form. Applications for other computer science areas than the ones mentioned above cannot be considered. A more detailed proposal within a research area is encouraged.
The selection process is an open competition between all applicants and the decision will be on candidate merit only.
The two studentships are funded by an EPSRC Doctoral Training grant and will start from 1st September 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidates should fulfil the eligibility criteria for EPSRC funding through UK/EU nationality and residency status (See http://www.epsrc.ac.uk) and is therefore only open to UK and EU students.
Amount Awarded
Each of the two studentships is funded for 3.5 years and covers Home/EU fees and maintenance at the standard EPSRC rate (currently £13,490 per annum). There is also an allowance for travel and equipment.
You are advised to contact potential supervisors in the specific research area that you consider. Information on staff members is available from http://www.engineering.leeds.ac.uk/comp/research.
Eligible Candidates
All PhD candidates should have or expect to obtain a first class or good 2.1 honours degree in computer science or other related areas (such as Mathematics). Candidates whose first language is not English will have to satisfy the university's English language requirements at registration; however, application without existing language certificates is possible.
The School of Computing is among the 10 best Computing departments in the UK according to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). An impressive 80% of staff is rated internationally excellent or world leading. This clearly confirms the School's position as one of the leading computing departments in the UK and a leader in the field internationally.
How to apply
Formal applications for research degree study must be made either on line through the University website, or on the University's application form. Detailed information of how to apply on line can be found at: www.leeds.ac.uk/students/apply_research.htm
Administrative questions on applications will be answered by the School of Computing secretary (rsadmit@comp.leeds.ac.uk) . Please note "DTA2010" as potential sponsor in the funding part of the application form.
