The 2011 round of the Jim Gatheral Scholarship is now open to applications. The University of Glasgow is delighted to present the Jim Gatheral Scholarship, a postgraduate travel award intended to enhance a doctoral student’s experience of mathematical modeling, to provide funding to allow the award holder to undertake a placement lasting between two months and one year at a centre of advanced study preferably outwith the UK in order to enrich and further their academic experience and research achievements; to learn or develop new techniques in the field of mathematical modelling; to benefit the University of Glasgow by introducing new skills to the University or creating/furthering research collaborations with international centres of excellence. Candidates should provide a detailed plan of their suggested use of the Scholarship along with a supporting statement from their School/Research Institute. The candidate’s supervisor will be required to endorse the application and confirm that the scholarship will make a significant contribution to the candidate’s research.
Eligibility: open to all postgraduate research students studying for a doctoral degree (PhD) whose research would benefit from new developments in mathematical modelling; Home/EU & International students currently registered at the University of Glasgow; open to high calibre students who have (in the opinion of the Selection Panel) already shown academic distinction and promise in the early phase of their research studies, a record of public service in the community, English language ability
