PhD studentship at School of Engineering Sciences

ACSIAN/ funded PhD studentship

An exciting opportunity exists for a student to undertake PhD sponsored by ACSIAN, a recent spin-out company from the University.
ACSIAN has developed a radically new software product that will dramatically alter the way organisations undertake large, complex projects.
The software allows the large number of complex interactions within an organisation to be modelled, analysed and optimised to minimise costs and reduce project risks.
The PhD studentship will provide good opportunities to work with our initial customer who is one of the largest aerospace companies in the world.
There are a number of possible areas of research and this would depend somewhat on the interests, skills and background of the successful candidate. However, some of the areas identified by ACSIAN include; parallel processing for the solution of very large network problems, the design of efficient algorithms, and stochastic analysis of networks.
The studentship is available to someone with a first class degree in mathematics or computer science. Clearly a significant part of the research will involve computing therefore the successful candidate must have an interest and strong skills in computation and problem representation paradigms. The candidate must be highly proficient in the use of Java Technology and OO programming. Knowledge of the Netbeans Platform and IDE will be considered an advantage. Ideally the candidate should also have experience in the design and deployment of web services and discrete-event systems.
The studentship is at the standard EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) bursary rate.

In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) the University of Southampton achieved the highest possible ratings of 5 and 5* status in 24 of its 34 units of assessment. This level of Research Excellence has earned us eighth place in The Sunday Times' University League Table for research standards.
SES has the very best Grade 5* research assessment grading, and an international research reputation.
The successful candidate will work with a group of highly motivated, first class research students in the areas of Computational Engineering, Design and Optimisation. This group has a long term research relationship with Rolls-Royce and BAE systems and hosts the University Technology Partnership in Design.
