Dear all,

The Operational Research Group (http://or.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/) within the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), invites applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship to work on a project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

The successful candidate will pursue a course of research investigating the application of computational search methods, such as evolutionary computation and meta/hyper-heuristics, to software engineering problems with a focus on real-world applications.

Candidates are expected to have a first class honors degree or Masters in Computer Science, Mathematics, Operations Research or related discipline, from a UK University or an equivalent standard from an overseas university. The successful candidate must have a strong programming background, as well as good analytical and communication skills. The student is expected to work as part of a team and independently, and to prepare clear reports and research papers. An understanding of mathematical optimization techniques, heuristic and hyper-heuristic search is highly desirable although not mandatory. The studentship is for three years, and covers Home/EU student fees as well as a tax-free stipend of around £16,500 per annum.

Informal enquiries can be made by email to Dr. John Drake (j.drake at qmul.ac.uk<mailto:j.drake at qmul.ac.uk>) who will supervise the project alongside Prof. Edmund K. Burke. Informal enquiries are strongly encouraged before a candidate submits an application. More information is available at: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BDF953.

The closing date for the applications is 31st August 2017.

Interviews are expected to take place shortly after.

Regards,
John
