DTP 2018-19 Kings College London

作为其《2029年战略愿景》的一部分，伦敦国王学院启动了一项具有变革意义的计划，旨在扩大其科学技术的广度和深度。这些领域的增长将：建立在大学在物理科学和工程方面的现有优势；建立在与大学在健康科学方面的领先活动的蓬勃发展的接口上；包括向新的技术领域扩张。我们的EPSRC DTP资助提供了灵活性，可以针对优先发展研究领域的博士学生，为通过EPSRC资助的当前活跃研究领域的博士研究提供机会，并为学术任命的早期职业研究人员提供支持。在所有情况下，学生都将沉浸在一个支持性和蓬勃发展的研究环境中。King‘s拥有坚实的基础科学基础，DTP资助的机会将横跨纯数学和应用数学，特别是统计学和应用概率；光子学、纳米技术、生物物理和软物质、凝聚态物质理论和模拟；以及化学领域，重点是了解生命的化学以及与生物和生物医学科学的接口。此外，EPSRC资助的数学和物理科学博士培训机会在我们EPSRC的几何和数论CDTS以及非平衡系统的跨学科方法(CANES)中存在。我们还致力于在技术和工程领域开展越来越多的新活动。DTP资助的机会将出现在我们目前充满活力的研究小组中，包括信息学中的代理和智能系统、算法和生物信息学、机器人、电信、规划和软件与逻辑，以及我们将在我们在健康数据方面的丰富专业知识的基础上进一步发展的广泛的大数据领域。该大学在生物医学工程和成像科学方面拥有强大的实力，DTP资助的机会将补充我们EPSRC CDT在医学成像方面的机会，并自然与医学工程中心(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生研究中心(www.kcl.ac.uk/Study/Dr.-Studes)、学院层面和学校/部门层面。金研究的跨学科性，以及我们与伦敦及其他地区其他机构的伙伴关系和合作，将增强和拓宽研究和学生经验的适用性。未来的学生可以通过访问研究生招生说明书(www.kcl.ac.uk/Study/pg)了解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主管个人资料确定感兴趣的特定领域，这些学院包括自然科学和数学科学学院(包括数学、物理、信息学和化学学院)(www.kcl.ac.uk/nms/Research)和生命科学和医学系(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)和兰德尔细胞和分子生物物理系)。DTP的资助将有两个来源：核心学生基金(85%)，以确保通过EPSRC奖项在研究环境强大的领域提供博士培训机会；以及战略学生基金(15%)，以提供数学科学和增长领域的博士机会。DTP资金将于11月临时分配给各系，12月至3月将公布博士学位机会，2月起分配和授予学生名额

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
