Full And Partial Scholarships For D.Phil. (Doctor Of Philosophy) Study
University of Oxford - Oxford University Computing Laboratory
The Computing Laboratory invites applications for full and partial scholarships
for D.Phil. (Doctor of Philosophy) study to commence in October 2010.
The Computing Laboratory has several competitive scholarships available for
full-time doctoral (D.Phil.) study to commence in October 2010. The department
offers a vibrant research environment, supported by £30M of research grants from
research councils, EU and industry. In the recent Research Assessment Exercise
(RAE 2008), 80% of our research was judged 4* (world leading) and 3*
(internationally excellent). Applications are invited in the following areas:
Computational Biology: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/research/compbio/
Foundations, Logic and Structures: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/research/fls/
Information Systems: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/research/is/
Programming Languages: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/research/pl/
Software Engineering: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/research/se/
Verification: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/research/verification/
The scholarships typically include full or partial support towards college and
university fees, as well as maintenance of at least £13,290 per annum. Several
types of scholarships are available, which carry nationality restrictions. EPSRC
DTA scholarships are of three and a half years' duration and are available to
home students or EU students who studied in the UK for three years previously.
Partial (fees only) DTA awards are available to EU students, with the
possibility of applying for top-up funding from the department. Clarendon
scholarships are for three years and are open to all international
(non-UK/non-EU) students. Departmental awards are typically partial and carry no
nationality restrictions. In addition, a broad range of scholarships are
administered centrally at Oxford, for example China-Oxford and Scatcherd
European (nationality and course restrictions apply).
Applications are made online and information about how to apply, including
requirements and links to the online prospectus, colleges and university
funding, is available from:
http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/admissions/dphil/
Scholarship applicants are strongly encouraged to apply before 20 November 2009,
and by 22 January 2010 at the latest. To be considered for a scholarship,
candidates must have been accepted for doctoral study at Oxford. Applicants are
asked to consider how their research interests correspond with the existing
expertise in the department, and are asked to identify and approach potential
supervisors directly, or enquire through the email address given below. Due to
the high volume of applications we receive you should aim to submit your
application two weeks before these deadlines. The scholarships are highly
competitive.
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and decisions are expected between
March and May 2010.
When applying for these studentships, please quote the following studentship
codes:
10-COMP-DEPT-WEB (if you are applying from ComLab web pages) or
10-COMP-DEPT-JOBS (if you are applying via jobs.ac.uk)
The Laboratory also offers project D.Phil. studentships which are advertised on
an ad hoc basis as they become available; they are advertised here.
