Dear all,

The Mathematically Structured Programming Group at the University of Strathclyde is welcoming applications for PhD scholarships, funded through the John Anderson Research Studentship Scheme. The scheme is a competitive process and offers several fully-funded positions for UK Home students. The scholarship covers tuition fees, a stipend for living expenses, and a small travel budget.

Unfortunately, the funding provided is not enough for non-UK tuition fees.

MSP is a thriving, fun, and exciting place within the UK to do fundamental research. We are a progressive and inclusive group of people, and we welcome students from all backgrounds. We see the mathematical foundations of computation and programming as inextricably linked, and we study one so as to develop the other. This reflects the symbiotic relationship between mathematics, logic, and programming -- any attempt to sever this connection will diminish each component.

If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please contact a potential supervisor as soon as possible, and ideally before 01 December 2026. The supervisor can advise on your candidacy and support your application. Please include your CV and a brief outline of your research interests in your message. More targeted, project-based, opportunities may become available in early 2027.

More information, including a list of potential supervisors, can be found at:

Best wishes,
The MSP Group
