Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are keen to attract strong applicants to our graduate (PhD) programme in Bristol and I'd be very grateful if you could circulate the information below and the attached flyer to your final year undergraduate and Master's students. Applications from students with experience in analysis and probability would be especially welcome.

Funding is available, but competitive. We will make an initial round of assessment of applications at the end of January. Those wishing to start a PhD in September 2015 are advised to apply soon.

The probability group at the School of Mathematics, University of Bristol consists of 

Marton Balazs (interacting particle systems, scaling limits)

Sean Collins (game theory, Markov decision processes, reinforcement learning)

Ayalvadi Ganesh (random networks, queuing, stochastic algorithms, complexity)

Oliver Johnson (information theory, limit theorems of probability, entropy and its use)

John McNamara, FRS (mathematical aspects of behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology)

Balint Toth (random walks, statistical physics, interacting particles, scaling limits)

Feng Yu (mathematical biology and genetics, bioinformatics)

We have strong links and collaborations with research groups in analysis, combinatorics, dynamical systems and ergodic theory, random matrix theory, mathematical physics and statistics in the department and with researchers in various other fields of science and engineering in other schools of the university.  

Thanks for your cooperation.
With best wishes,

Balint
