PhD Research Studentships in Computer Science
Interaction, Media, and Communication Research Group, Department of Computer Science, Queen Mary, University of London
The Department of Computer Science at Queen Mary, University of London invites applications for up to twelve research scholarships for new PhD students starting in September 2004. These are available to UK, EU and international students and pay for tuition fees and/or a tax-free maintenance grant of up to £12,500 p.a. for 3 years. The department has research strengths in: logic and semantics, computer vision, risk analysis and decision support, information retrieval and interaction, media and communication. In addition, we especially encourage inter-disciplinary research and there are earmarked studentships for cross-department collaboration. Further information on research in the department may be found at www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk/research/
Funds are available in particular to support high quality applicants to the Interaction, Media and Communication Research group (http://www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk/research/imc/). We welcome people with interests in human-human communication, multi-modal interaction, engagement and creativity or accessibility.
We are one of the UK's leading departments of Computer Science
(www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk) with a comprehensive and supportive research training environment. Here are some of the reasons why our postgraduate students have chosen to develop their research with us:
• Research quality: internationally leading groups
(www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk/research/) in theoretical, applied and multi-disciplinary research,
• Resources: generous office and laboratory space, excellent systems support, well-stocked libraries with extensive online resources - including the University of London's Senate House library - and support for postgraduates to attend international conferences;
• Atmosphere: friendly staff and an open, encouraging and stimulating environment;
• Training: specialised seminars and training courses run by the department, the Graduate School (www.qmul.ac.uk/postgrad/) and the University of London, supervision committee with regular monitoring of progress, annual postgraduate conference (www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk/conferences/pg2003/);
• Location: as the only campus-based university in central London, Queen Mary enjoys an enviable location in a vibrant part of East London, between Docklands and the City. Situated next to the newly landscaped Mile End Park - and one of London's main cycle routes - Queen Mary offers students an attractive environment in which to study (www.qmul.ac.uk/contact/mileend.shtml). Our new student village has accommodation for over 1,000 students on campus (www.qmul.ac.uk/undergrad/stuvill.shtml).
Applications can be made either on-line or by post as described on the College postgraduate web page (www.qmul.ac.uk/postgrad/). Informal applications by email may be submitted to the PhD admissions secretary Ms. Carla Benjamin (email: carla at dcs.qmul.ac.uk, tel:
