We welcome enquiries from students interested in studying for a PhD in mathematical biology. Below we list some sample projects that we could currently offer.
UK and EU students may be eligible for funding, see here for details. Formal applications must be made through the University of Sheffield's online application form, available here. We strongly encourage you to contact the potential supervisor for informal enquiries before making a formal application.
