We do not have openings for PDRAs at this time. We are happy to support appropriate candidates wishing to apply for exetrnal funding (such as EPSRC or Leverhulme). If you wish to work with the geometry group at St Andrews, please contact any relevant member of the research group.
We welcome enquiries from potential research students who wish to pursue a PhD as part of the Geometry Group. Our main areas of research are rigid geometry, geometric group theory, symplectic geometry, and tropical geometry (see the research page for more details). Applicants should hold or be en route to receiving a First class degree (or equivalent) in mathematics. It is recommended that anyone applying for a position communicates with a potential adviser at an early stage, see the members page for a list of staff members.
Funding may be available from EPSRC, or other sources, depending on the academic qualifications and nationality of the applicant. All suitably qualified postgraduate students are offered the opportunity of supplementing their income by undergraduate tutoring.
Further information about applying to a PhD in the School of Maths and Stats can be found in the following website and information about applying, studying, and living in St Andrews is available here. You may also contact the Maths and Stats Director of Postgraduate Studies, Dr Richard Scott (email), or the Head of Geometry, Dr Yoav Len (email).
