INDUSTRIAL CASE STUDENTSHIP
“Glass Corrosion: Parameter estimation in reaction diffusion problems involving ionic species with limited data”

An EPSRC Industrial CASE studentship is available in collaboration with Pilkington Group Limited and the Mathematics Knowledge Transfer Network. The studentship will be based at Imperial College, London in the Department of Materials and will be supervised by the Head of Department, Professor Bill Lee and Dr Paul Tangney, who has recently transferred from Lawrence
Berkeley Laboratory. In addition, mathematical support on inverse problems will be provided by Dr Daniel Lesnic from the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Leeds.

An individual with a first degree in any of the scientific disciplines with significant mathematical content and strong interest in mathematical modelling of physical process will be considered for this opportunity but an interest in instrumental surface analysis methods is also desirable.
EPSRC CASE studentships are restricted to UK citizens or individuals ‘normally resident’ in the UK for the past 3 years. This studentship will be provided at the standard EPSRC rate of a bursary of 14,600 GBP per year and home level fees.

Although the studentship will be available to students who wish to start later, we are particularly interested in anyone who wishes to commence in or before October 2007.

Applications will be processed when received, with the expectation that the post will be filled by July 23rd 2007. To apply, please email a copy of your CV, including the names of 3 referees, to Professor Bill Lee, email w.e.lee@imperial.ac.uk. Applicants should also complete an on-line application for a PhD which is available under “how to apply” at:
