Imperial and France’s CNRS launch joint PhD programme in Mathematical Sciences

Imperial and France's National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) have launched a joint PhD programme in mathematics and data. The two institutions run a joint mathematics lab - the UMI Abraham de Moivre - at South Kensington. The PhD programme is focused on the theme: Mathematics, Data and their applications in all areas of science. There is funding for five projects and each project will have a pair of PhD students, one based in London and one based at a CNRS laboratory in France. There will be opportunities for the PhDs to collaborate and spend time in each other's labs. The programme, which begins in October 2020, is open to students from across the College and the call is open to projects which deploy mathematics, data, modern statistics, or AI and machine learning to scientific challenges across all disciplines. The closing date for applications is January 15, 2020 .
