SPECIFIC: =============================================================== Sorry, no specific PhD Studentships are available at this time. My group is already full of great people! ================================================================ If you want to apply to do a PhD with me at UCL: If I am currently hiring for a particular position, it will appear on my homepage and the section above. General unsolicited applicants, please read on. ELIGIBILITY: There is a lot to say, so see please the separate section at the bottom BEFORE reading on. GENERAL: (other options for PhD studentships at UCL) The Computer Science Department of University College London (UCL) is always accepting applications for EngD and PhD positions. A few specific slots are open now, and further ones will continue to open each academic year. Strong communication skills in English are essential. UCL's computer vision and graphics have expanded, with dynamic new research in several areas. We are looking for really driven individuals who have demonstrated talent or expertise in some specific way. Experience in visual-computing-related fields is ideal, but for example, there could also be a good match for mathematicians, physicists, roboticists, or those on the implementation side of HCI. Most of my projects have significant machine learning components, and we work closely with researchers in related groups and companies here at UCL and abroad. We are especially keen for applicants who really have one such area "nailed" and are ready to apply/expand what they know. HOW TO APPLY: To be considered, you must fill in the general UCL application form. Please see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate-study/application-admission/ where you can download the forms and guidelines. Informal enquiries about the current projects can be made to me by email. Please put engdapp42 or phdapp42 in the subject line. Other emails will be ignored! (Yes, it's like a spam-filter) When emailing, please also include a CV, research statement, and contact information for references with a pointer to your Master thesis and publications in case you have any. Students without Masters are encouraged to apply to do a Masters of Research (see the stand-alone program) or to the UCL MSc in Computer Graphics, Vision, and Imaging: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/teaching/cgvi . SECReT funding is another option, if you are interested in vision for surveillance or action recognition (and are a UK "resident"). SEE ALSO related Vision/Graphics openings (and check our general CS page for updates; http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/vacancies.html) ELIGIBILITY: "British residency" is required for many Doctoral programs in the UK; meaning UK citizens or someone from the EU/Swiss who is ALSO resident in the UK for the last 3 years (see 'EU Nationals in the UK' here). If you also have excellent academic qualifications, then you are in the best situation, in that pools of such funding seem to form every year. Put the word britapp in your subject. The key issue for UK and EU students is "fees-only" vs "fees and stipend". To get funding for students from other countries (including the EU) requires a proven track record. Essentially, you must have done some significant research of publishable quality already, before or during your MS degree. I list just a few links below, and apologize in advance if I don't respond to your request for a letter of support: I get so much unsolicited mail of this type that I frequently can not give an application the time and attention it deserves. It will help if you put the word phdapp in the subject. Please look here for the normal admissions procedure for UCL. Note that we have a separate (and excellent) MS program that is worth completing before launching into a PhD. If you are interested in research, try to be persistent - this is a hugely rewarding career! Get more info about funding if you're - American: Marshall
