Funded PhD Studentships at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.
Applications are invited for funded PhD studentships in the Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway, starting on 19th of September 2016. We particularly welcome female applicants as they are under-represented among our PhD student population.
Some of the studentships have an open topic as long as this is related to the interests of one of the Department's research groups: Algorithms and Applications, including complexity theory; Bioinformatics; Computer Learning; Distributed and Global Computing, including distributed algorithms; and Software Language Engineering.
These studentships are for three years and include a stipend of circa £16,000 per year plus a Home/EU fee waiver. Applicants are expected to have obtained a first-class degree in Computer Science or a cognate discipline, and must obtain the support of a potential supervisor in the Department prior to submitting an applications. Initial contact with supervisors should be made at least two weeks prior to the closing date for applications.
Closing date for open topic applications: 10th of April 2016.
To apply, please use our on-line system

to submit the following items:
(1) a research topic/area and the name of a potential supervisor;
(2) a covering letter describing your reasons for wishing to pursue a PhD in the proposed area, incuding why you think that you are qualified to do research in that area;
(3) a research proposal where you expand on your research topic: why the topic is important, what is the state of the art in the area, and what are the research contributions that you would like to make beyond the state of the art -- this does not need to be too long but it should contain enough information for us to make a judgement on the
viability of carrying out such a research project in the Department;
(4) a current CV;
(5) any documents proving your actual or expected degree classifications, as well as results of any previous University examinations;
(6) two academic references.
