Scholarship details

Overview

Applications are invited for a three year Postgraduate Research studentship, to be undertaken within the Mathematics & Computer Science Research Groups at Aston University. UK/EU and Overseas applicants are eligible to apply for this studentship.


The goal of this project is to develop a software system that can automatically generate optimized University timetables.


Aston University is a long established research-led University known for its world-class teaching quality and strong links to industry, government, and commerce.


Applicants from outside the EU may apply for this studentship but will need to pay the difference between the ‘Home/EU’ and ‘Overseas’ tuition fees; currently, this is estimated to be £11,729 in the 2016/17 academic year.


As part of the application, you will be required to confirm that you have applied for, or, secured this additional funding.

It would also be advantageous to have experience in the presentation of complex analyses to untrained users, software version control systems, knowledge of object-oriented design and implementation, along with an understanding of the full software development and product lifecycle.

  • An understanding of algorithm design (although the core algorithm will be provided), and good inter-personal skills to work within Aston University and liaise with academics, students and administrative staff, are highly desirable.

Preferred Discipline

Studentship is to be undertaken within the Mathematics & Computer Science Research Groups at Aston University. 


Studentship is available for pursuing Ph.D. program.
