DTP 2018-19 Kings College London

作为2029年战略愿景的一部分，伦敦国王学院启动了一项变革性倡议，以扩大其科学和技术的广度和深度。这些领域的发展将：建立在大学物理科学和工程方面的现有优势；与大学在健康科学方面的领先活动建立蓬勃发展的界面；包括扩展到新的技术领域。我们的EPSRC DTP资助为博士研究生提供了灵活性，以优先发展的研究领域为目标，并为EPSRC资助的活跃研究领域的博士研究提供了机会，并为早期职业研究人员提供学术任命支持。在所有情况下，学生将沉浸在一个支持性和蓬勃发展的研究环境中。国王学院拥有坚实的基础科学基础，DTP资助的机会将涉及纯数学和应用数学，特别是统计学和应用概率；在光子学，纳米技术，生物物理学和软物质，凝聚态物质理论和模拟，以及化学领域，重点是理解生命的化学以及与生物学和生物医学科学的接口。进一步EPSRC资助的数学和物理科学博士培训机会存在于我们的EPSRC几何和数论以及非平衡系统跨学科方法（CANES）的CDTs中。我们还致力于在技术和工程领域开展新的活动。DTP资助的机会将在我们目前充满活力的研究小组中提供，包括代理和智能系统，算法和生物信息学，机器人，电信，信息学中的规划和软件与逻辑，以及在大数据的广泛领域，我们将基于我们在健康数据方面的丰富专业知识进一步发展。该大学在生物医学工程和成像科学方面具有显著的优势，DTP资助的机会将补充我们EPSRC医学成像CDT的机会，并自然地与医学工程中心（Wellcome Trust/EPSRC）内的EPS研究领域保持一致。学生通过三个层次的培训得到支持，主要是通过我们的博士研究中心（www.kcl.ac.uk/study/doctoral-studies），在学院一级和学院/部门一级。国王学院研究的跨学科性以及我们与伦敦及其他地区的其他机构的伙伴关系和合作将增强和扩大研究的适用性和学生体验。未来的学生可以通过访问研究生招股说明书（www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg）找到更多关于我们提供的学科领域的信息。此外，他们还可以通过学院网页上的导师简介来确定具体的兴趣领域，包括自然和数学科学学院（包括数学、物理、信息学和化学）（www.kcl.ac.uk/nms/research）和生命科学与医学学院（www.kcl.ac.uk/lsm），包括生物医学工程和成像科学学院（www.kcl.ac.uk/lsm/research/divisions/imaging）和兰德尔细胞与分子生物物理学部。DTP资助将分为两部分：核心学生基金（85%），以确保在EPSRC奖励支持的强大研究环境的领域提供博士培训机会；以及战略奖学金（15%），为数学科学和发展领域的博士提供机会。DTP的临时拨款将于11月发放给各学系，博士学位的申请将于12月至3月公布，并于2月开始分配和颁发奖学金

King's College London has embarked on a transformative initiative to expand the breadth and depth of its science and technology as a part of its Strategic Vision 2029. Growth in these areas will: build on existing strengths within the university in physical science and engineering; build on the thriving interface with the university's leading activity in health sciences; include expansion into new areas of technology. Our EPSRC DTP funding provides the flexibility to target PhD studentships in priority research areas of growth and provide opportunities for doctoral research in areas of active current research supported through EPSRC funding, and offers support to Early Career Researchers on academic appointments. In all cases, students will be immersed in a supportive and thriving research environment. King's has a strong bedrock of basic sciences and DTP funded opportunities will be available across pure and applied mathematics, in particular in Statistics and Applied Probability; in Photonics, Nanotechnology, Biophysics and Soft Matter, Condensed Matter Theory and Simulation, and in Chemistry in areas with a focus on understanding the chemistry of life and the interface with biology and biomedical sciences. Further EPSRC funded doctoral training opportunities in mathematical and physical sciences exist within our EPSRC CDTs in Geometry and Number Theory and in Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Non-Equilibrium Systems (CANES). We are also committed to growing new activity in the areas of Technology and Engineering. DTP funded opportunities will be available within our present vibrant research groups in Agents & Intelligent Systems, Algorithms & Bioinformatics, Robotics, Telecommunications, Planning and Software & Logic within Informatics, and in the broad area of Big Data which we will develop further, building upon our considerable expertise in Health Data. The university has significant strength in Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences, where DTP funded opportunities will complement those within our EPSRC CDT in Medical Imaging, and naturally align to the EPS research areas within the Centre of Medical Engineering (Wellcome Trust/EPSRC). Students are supported through training at three levels, centrally through our Centre for Doctoral Studies (www.kcl.ac.uk/study/doctoral-studies), at Faculty level and at School/departmental level. The interdisciplinarity of King's research and our partnerships and collaborations with other institutions in London and beyond will enhance and broaden the applicability of the research and the student experience. Prospective students can find out more about the subject areas we offer by visiting the postgraduate prospectus (www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg). In addition they can identify specific areas of interest through supervisor profiles on the Faculty web-pages including the Faculty of Natural and Mathematical Sciences including Mathematics, Physics, Informatics and Chemistry (www.kcl.ac.uk/nms/research) and the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine (www.kcl.ac.uk/lsm) including the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences (www.kcl.ac.uk/lsm/research/divisions/imaging) and Randall Division of Cell & Molecular Biophysics. DTP funding will be in two streams: a core studentship fund (85%) to ensure provision of doctoral training opportunities in areas with a strong research environment supported through EPSRC awards; and a strategic studentship fund (15%) to provide PhD opportunities in mathematical science and in areas of growth. Provisional allocation of DTP funding will be made to Departments in November and PhD opportunities will be advertised from December to March, with assignment and award of studentships from February onwards
