PhD Opportunities in Optimization and Operational Research at the University of Edinburgh


Applications are invited for PhD studies in Optimization and Operational Research at the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh for the academic year 2024-2025. A degree in mathematics or operational research is not an application requirement. Our PhD students have backgrounds in engineering, mathematics, computer science, business, physical sciences, or related fields.

The School of Mathematics offers several fully funded PhD studentships each year. Students receiving School funding are awarded a competitive stipend equivalent to UKRI stipend rates (£18,622 per year for the current academic year) for a period of 4 years plus tuition fee waiver.  All applications received by 22 January 2024 will receive full consideration for funding. Later applications will be considered until all positions are filled.
