Research Studentships




                UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX

           Postgraduate Scholarships in Computer Science
          ------------------------------------------------


The School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences contains a strong and
very active research group in Theoretical Computer Science.  Major
areas of research include

The  Foundations of Distributed Computing,
The Semantics of Programming and Specification Languages,  
Software Tools for Verification, 
Type Systems, 
The Application of Logic to Computer Science.


Applications are invited from students with good undergraduate degrees
in Computer Science or Mathematics to join this group to study towards
a D.Phil. degree. Two scholarships are available for suitably
qualified candidates for the October 1995 entry. These cover tuition
fees (up to the level payable by HEC students) and maintenance for
three years. The level of the maintenance grant is linked to the
standard grant offered by EPSRC which for 1994/95 was set at  4910
pounds per annum.

Scholarship I:

This is an Earmarked Studentship awarded by the EPSRC Mathematics
Programme. The successful candidate will be expected to work on the
project:

``Algebraic structures for modelling concurrent and functional
computation''

The object of this project is to develop the appropriate mathematical
framework within which fully abstract denotational models for
high-level languages combining functional and distributed computation
can be constructed using appropriate domain equations.

Scholarship 2:

This is funded directly with by the School of COGS.  For this
scholarship the research project is open but must complement the
current research interests of the faculty in the School working
in Theoretical Computer Science.
