The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Liverpool invites applications for Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) studentships leading to a PhD and commencing study from the 22nd September 2025. This fully funded opportunity is open to all areas of mathematics and provides an excellent platform for research in a dynamic and supportive environment. Our department's research spans Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Stochastics, and Financial & Actuarial Mathematics. Learn more about our research areas here: Liverpool Mathematical Sciences Research. If you have a strong academic background and a passion for mathematical research, we encourage you to apply! We strongly encourage female applicants to apply!
Award Value: The EPSRC DPT funded Studentship will cover full tuition fees of £4,786 pa. and pay a maintenance grant for 3.5 years, starting at the UKRI minimum of £20,780 pa. for academic year 2025-2026, subject to increase in future years. The Studentship also comes with a Research Training Support Grant to fund consumables, conference attendance, etc.
Award conditions: DTP students will spend their time working towards the objectives of the chosen PhD programmes (teaching assistant duties will be provided on a voluntary basis and paid separately).
Eligibility: EPSRC Studentships are available to any prospective student wishing to apply including both home and international students. While EPSRC funding will not cover international fees, a limited number of scholarships to meet the fee difference will be available to support outstanding international students. To be eligible, candidates must also identify and suggest potential supervisor(s) by clearly stating their name(s) in the application. You can explore our academic staff here: Liverpool Mathematical Sciences Staff.
Deadline: The deadline for receiving applications is 17th March 2025. Please make contact with a project supervisor(s) and then apply online and mention the DTP positions in the section regarding possible sources of funding. All shortlisted candidates will be contacted and interviewed in early April to discuss the available opportunities. Offers are likely to be made shortly thereafter.
Supporting documents: School or college transcripts/certificates; university transcripts and degree certificates; evidence of English language proficiency (EU/Overseas applicants only); 2 letters of reference; research proposal or areas and a short CV.
