Fully funded PhD position in numerical optimisation (University of Sydney)

Applications are now open for 1 fully-funded PhD position (3 years) in numerical optimisation, working with Dr Lindon Roberts at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sydney. This project is to work on the development, analysis and implementation of algorithms for derivative-free optimisation problems. There are no nationality restrictions on the position. Students with a strong honours (first class or upper second class) or a master’s degree in mathematics or a related field are encouraged to apply.

This scholarship is funded by the Australian Research Council project “Robust Derivative-Free Algorithms for Complex Optimisation Problems”.

Applications close on Monday 5 February, with a view to starting the project in March 2024. For more details see
