expected to have a 1st class honors degree or Masters in
Computer Science, Mathematics, Operational Research or
related discipline, from a UK University or an equivalent
standard from an overseas university. The successful
candidate must have a strong programming background, as
well as good analytical and communication skills. The
student is expected to work as part of a team and
independently, and to prepare clear reports and research
papers. An understanding of mathematical optimization
techniques, heuristic and hyper-heuristic search is highly
desirable although not mandatory.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

start date for this studentship is flexible, but must
commence by 1st October 2018 at the latest. This
studentship covers student fees as well as a tax-free
stipend of around £16,500 per annum. It also attracts an
additional stipend from the industrial partner. </span><span
