<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(25, 25, 25);">One full-time 4-year structured PhD position is available in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Limerick, Ireland. The project is fully funded
including fees and a tax-free stipend (currently €22,000 but subject to Research Ireland Stipend upgrades which are currently under review (€25,000), and not including additional payments for tutorials/grading). Expenses for computing equipment and a generous
budget for conference travel and materials are also provided.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The PhD student will develop advanced statistical machine learning approaches (exploring for eg the potential of deep gaussian processes) for application in the research field of
battery technology. This programme is in conjunction with Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI). Concentrated contact with ADI researchers is a key aim of the research project, allowing the student to observe research outputs being actioned in industry settings.
It is also envisaged that, subject to visa requirements and funding, the studentship will include a placement at the Analog Garage Research Lab in Boston, MA, USA.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The ideal candidate for this project is a student with an undergraduate (or preferably MSc) degree in statistical science, mathematics, computer science, or physics. In the first
12 months, the student will undertake training through several research projects focused on developing expertise in the field of Gaussian processes and application of neural networks (learning by doing), attending workshops, and mandatory PhD training in research
skills provided by the University.</span></p>
