PhD position on models of decision making in Bristol

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to let you know about a fully funded 3-year interdisciplinary PhD studentship on computational models of decision making at the University of Bristol.

The student will be based in Bristol University's interdisciplinary centre for research into /Decision Making in an Unstable World  /(http://www.bristol.ac.uk/decisions-research/).  The centre currently has 2 postdoctoral researchers and 4 PhD students, runs a wide variety of topic focused seminars and workshops, and offers a range of exciting collaborative opportunities. The research team is located in a newly-refurbished dedicated space.

Applications are welcomed from UK/EU students who are enthusiastic and highly-motivated who possess, or will shortly obtain, a first or upper second class degree, or equivalent, in a numerate subject from across the Mathematical, Natural and Engineering Sciences (for example Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics or Physics).  Applicants must demonstrate a strong desire to be part of an interdisciplinary research team that combines mathematical and computational modelling with experimental research on humans.  Successful applicants will receive an EPSRC 3-year studentship covering living expenses and fees.

For further information, please visit http://www.bristol.ac.uk/decisions-research/.  Informal enquiries are very welcome and should be made to Dr David Leslie (david.leslie@bristol.ac.uk <mailto:david.leslie@bristol.ac.uk>) or Prof Iain Gilchrist (i.d.gilchrist@bristol.ac.uk <mailto:i.d.gilchrist@bristol.ac.uk>). Information about postgraduate study at the university, including the application procedure, is available at http://www.bris.ac.uk/prospectus/postgraduate/.  Please select 'Mathematics (PhD)' and indicate that that you are responding to the "Inter-disciplinary decision-making studentship advertisement" in the Research Details and Funding sections of the form.

We will carry out interviews and hope to appoint to this studentship as soon as possible.

*The closing date for applications is 9am on the 1^st October 2012.
