*Fully Funded Computer Science PhD Studentships at Keele University* The Faculty of Natural Sciences at Keele University is pleased to announce up to 7 fully-funded PhD studentships for UK/EU students for start in September/October 2016, as well as opportunities for part-funded PhD studentships for suitable candidates. Applications are invited from high quality prospective doctoral candidates in Computer Science and other disciplines. We welcome candidates with a good fit to our research specialisms and the expertise of our academic staff. Candidates are expected to have a 1st class or 2.1 class undergraduate degree or a Distinction level MSc degree in a relevant subject (or equivalent in the case of candidates from other EU countries). One of our focus areas in Computer Science is *Computational Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering*. A selection of topics of interests in this area is provided below. *Computational Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering*: computational modelling of the stomatogastric nervous system; bio-inspired robot control; computational modelling of cognitive behaviour in bees; neuro-control of evolving artificial creatures; neuro-control of robotic swarms; computational analysis of neuroimaging and multi-electrode array data; human and animal behaviour analysis using accelerometer data; virtual reality and robotics for rehabilitation engineering; analysis and modelling of the impact of neuromodulators in biological neural systems; big data analytics and neuro-degenerative disorders. *Funding* Each fully-funded studentship includes an annual tax-free stipend at RCUK rate plus tuition fees (currently £14,296 for stipend and £4,121 for fees). The funding is available for 3 years. Each studentship has an associated research expense budget (£2,000 – £3,000 per year, depending on the nature of the project, to cover project related consumables and conference travel). Opportunities are also available for candidates from the UK/EU and overseas who can demonstrate that they can fully or partially self-fund. If you are interested in this route, please contact Professor Peter Andras at p.andras@keele.ac.uk for a discussion. *Closing Date* The *closing date* for applications is Friday *15 April 2016* Full details and application procedures can be found on the website: http://www.keele.ac.uk/pgresearch/howtoapply/ For the purpose of research proposal applicants should submit an outline of their research interests or of a particular research project that the applicant would like to work on (max. 2 pages). Please send any questions by email to Lisa Cartlidge ( l.j.cartlidge@keele.ac.uk) or Ann Billington (a.billington@keele.ac.uk).
