Candidates should have a good knowledge of mathematics and an interest and experience in computer software. In addition they should have a background in the natural sciences, such as physics, chemistry or possibly in computer sciences. The studentship will cover University and College fees throughout the period of the project, plus the normal graduate maintenance stipend, which at the present time is £12300 per year. Applications should reach the department by May 8th 2006.
