PhD Research Studentship in Engineering - University of Cambridge

PhD Research Studentship
Interacting Turbulent Flames Using Dns And Laser Diagnostics
Department of Engineering

A Research Studentship position is available on an EPSRC funded research project in the study of interacting turbulent flames using DNS and laser diagnostics. This project involves collaboration with Rolls-Royce Plc. and Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd. in the UK. The main aim of the project is to develop close understanding of interacting turbulent premixed flames using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) methodology and laser diagnostics. The interacting flames are one of the fundamental root cause for “noisy” combustion, but this is still a terra incognita for modelling. The research student will be involved in the experimental part of the project but there will be constant interaction between the experimental and computational parts. The Ph.D student will work closely with one of investigators and will be using state of the art multi-scalar imaging and particle image velocimetry (PIV) facilities available in the Engineering Department.

The successful candidate will have a first class degree in Mechanical/Aerospace/Chemical engineering. Applications from overseas students will also be considered. Funding, covering all fees and maintenance will be available for the three years. The studentship will commence from 1st October 2008.

Further details on the project may be obtained from Dr E. Mastorakos or Dr N. Swaminathan. An application form may be downloaded from the Board of Graduate Studies (BGS) office. More information on the graduate studies at the Engineering Department is available http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/ If you submit your application on-line via BGS website, send a copy in PDF format to Mrs. Kate Graham so as to reach her not later than 10th May 2008.

Fisher Scholarships: MSc in Mathematical Finance, UK

Fisher Scholarships: MSc in Mathematical Finance

Department of Economics and School of Mathematics

The University of Birmingham’s MSc in Mathematical Finance teaches
technically trained graduates - including in Mathematics, Science and
Engineering - to apply their quantitative skills to financial analysis.
Successful completion of the MSc will qualify students to work in
quantitative analysis in City of London

Recent advances in theoretical finance and computing power have moved
quantitative analysis from the margins of the financial world to its
core. Rigorous quantitative analysis is now involved in everything from
the design and pricing of individual assets to the optimisation of whole
portfolios. Birmingham’s MSc in Mathematical Finance gives highly
motivated, high performing students an opportunity to work in this area.
It is taught by two top ranked institutions - its School of Mathematics
and its Department of Economics. Students take core courses in
financial econometrics, mathematical finance and computational methods.
Optional modules allow them to hone further their technical skills (e.g.
further mathematical finance) or to broaden their economic understanding
(e.g. macroeconomics).

The MSc accepts students on the basis of quality rather than quantity.
In 2007-08, only one in six applicants were offered places. Thanks to a
generous private gift from Andrew Fisher (Birmingham economics 1982; CEO
Towry Law), six Fisher Scholarships covering full tuition fees are
available. Applicants with first class degrees are automatically
considered for Fisher Scholarships as well as internal scholarships
offered by the Economics Department, covering from a quarter to full
tuition fees. In both cases, scholarships are awarded to the most able
applicants, regardless of nationality. Home, EU and overseas students
all pay the same fees. This fee structure ensures that the most
qualified applicants are accepted, regardless of nationality.

Prospective students are encouraged to apply online via the MSc’s
website
.
Those outside the OECD are encouraged to post any additional material
that would help us evaluate their application, including results of
standardised assessments such as the GRE and CVs. Non-native speakers
of English must attain an IELTS score of 6.5, with no less than 6 in any
band. financial institutions, such as banks and hedge funds, or for
postgraduate research in mathematical finance.

More information on funding opportunities is provided by the Student
Funding Office . The International Office maintains a list of scholarships to which international students may apply.

Applications are accepted on a continuous basis for study to begin in
late September.
