PhD Studentship in Green Buildings

University of Cambridge - Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

Limit of tenure: three and a half years.

Following his recent appointment as GI Taylor Professor of Fluid Mechanics, Professor Paul Linden FRS is seeking to appoint a PhD student to a new EPSRC CASE Award in collaboration with Arup, one of the world's leading architectural engineering consultancies. The project will develop mathematical models to be incorporated into the software Arup use to design low-energy buildings. The project is also supported by the Industrial Mathematics Knowledge Transfer Network.

Applicants should have an honours degree (at least II.I or equivalent) in mathematics, engineering, or other relevant discipline. The studentship offers tuition fees and a maintenance grant (with CASE top-up) in accordance with Research Council eligibility criteria, which means that the studentship is not available to citizens of non-EU countries.
Enquires about this position can be made to Professor Linden (email: pflinden@ucsd.edu). Applications should include a curriculum vitae and the names of two professional referees and should be emailed to Professor Linden so as to reach him by 15th July 2010.
