Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship to conduct research in the field of Computer Science, commencing in September 2016. UK/EU and overseas applicants are eligible to apply for this scholarship. The scholarship is tenable for 3 years and covers tuition fees at the UK/EU rate plus a stipend of £16,539 per annum.
The UCL provides modern educational and research environments that will enable students and researchers to face current challenges and to focus on knowledge as a principle driving force for development.
All students whose first language is not English must be able to provide recent evidence that their spoken and written command of the English language is adequate for the program.
Course Level: Scholarship is available for pursuing Ph.D. program.
Study Subject: Scholarship is awarded in Computational Statistics.
The following two projects are available (outline descriptions are linked to the project titles).
- Learning representations with latent variable models
- Multi-agent deep reinforcement learning for machine bidding in digital advertising
- Alternatively, candidates may propose their own topics, provided that they have already been discussed with prospective supervisors in both departments.
Scholarship Award: The studentship is tenable for 3 years and covers tuition fees at the UK/EU rate plus a stipend of £16,539 per annum (based on the standard UK Research Council rate with London weighting). International students may also apply, but will need to source additional funding to meet the difference in cost between UK/EU and overseas tuition fees. The procedure for determining one’s tuition fee status is outlined on the UCL website.

How to Apply: The mode of application is online. All new candidates should apply initially for the Research Degree: Statistical Science (RRDSTASING01) by completing the online form and, in addition (and very importantly), send a separate covering letter making their case for the funding. The covering letter should be sent to Dr. Russell Evans at stats.pgr-admissions-at-ucl.ac.uk. Candidates already in receipt of an offer of admission (to either department) need only send the covering letter.
