PhD Opportunities

Projects in Applied and Computational Mathematics

The Maxwell Institute Graduate School in Modelling, Analysis & Computation (MAC-MIGS) offers great  opportunites for postgraduate research in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Edinburgh. MAC-MIGS is a 4-year PhD programme focussed on the formulation, analysis and implementation of state-of-the-art mathematical and computational models.  Consult the MAC-MIGS web page for details of the programme and its application procedure, as well as a list of possible PhD topics.

Other opportunities are available through the Applied & Computational Mathematics PhD (see also the School's Postgraduate Research pages) and, for projects in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, through the Edinburgh Earth, Ecology & Environment NERC DTP. Contact possible supervisors who will be able to advise on the best route to secure a PhD place.

PhD projects are offered on the topics listed below.

Data Science
Data-driven models, inverse problems, uncertainty quantification

Materials: Models and Simulation
Molecular dynamics, stochastic models, optics

Fluid Dynamics
Geophysical and astrophysical fluids, complex fluids

Mathematical Biology
Stochastic and computational methods applied to biology

Nonlinear Dynamics and Asymptotics
