PhD Studentship: Analysis of Partial Differential Equations

Description

PhD Studentship: Analysis of Partial Differential Equations Employer: University of Birmingham - School of Mathematics Qualification Type: PhD Location: Birmingham Funding for: UK Students, EU Students, International Students Funding amount: Not Specified Hours: Full Time Placed On: 24th July 2026 Closes: 24th October 2026 This PhD project will investigate partial differential equations arising from kinetic models, with a particular focus on variational methods. The research will explore how variational structures, energy principles, and gradient-flow techniques can be used to analyse the existence, regularity, stability, and long-time behaviour of solutions to kinetic PDEs. The project aims to develop rigorous mathematical tools for understanding the connection between microscopic particle dynamics and macroscopic continuum descriptions. Funding notes: For UK and EU candidates: - Funding may be available through a college or EPSRC scholarship in competition with all other PhD applications; - The scholarship will cover tuition fees, training support, and a stipend at standard rates for 3-3.5 years; - Early applications are strongly recommended; deadline for scholarship applications is midday UK time on 31st January (annually); however, late applications may also be considered; - Strong candidates are encouraged to make an informal inquiry. - For non-UK/non-EU candidates: - Strong self-funded applicants will be considered; - Exceptionally strong candidates in this category may be awarded a tuition fee waiver (for up to 3 years) in competition with all other PhD applications.
