The University of Glasgow, under the supervision of Lecturer Ji-Eun Byun, invites expressions of interest from prospective PhD candidates interested in applying for funding through schemes such as the EPSRC Scholarship, China Scholarship Council (CSC) Scholarship, and the Leverhulme Doctoral Fellowship. The research group focuses on probabilistic modelling, artificial intelligence (AI), and decision-making under uncertainty, with applications to complex infrastructure systems. Ongoing projects involve system risk, resilience, Bayesian networks, and complex networks, providing a rich environment for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, civil engineering, and statistics.

Funding opportunities are available through competitive schemes, which may cover tuition and provide a stipend, depending on the specific scholarship. Self-funded study is also possible. Interested candidates should have a strong background in a relevant field such as computer science, mathematics, engineering, or a related discipline, and should demonstrate interest or experience in probabilistic modelling, AI, or infrastructure systems. Applicants are encouraged to prepare a CV, a description of their career and expertise, intended research area, and any supporting documents.

To apply, review the research areas and funding schemes, then contact Ji-Eun Byun by email to discuss your interest and potential application. Further details about ongoing projects and application guidance can be found at the provided links. The annual closing date for the EPSRC Scholarship is typically by 31 January.
