Fully-funded PhD Studentship
 		on
Blockchain Technologies and Applications

A fully funded PhD studentship on Blockchain Technologies and Applications 
is available at the Computing Science and Mathematics division of the 
University of Stirling, UK.

The studentship will cover tuition fees at Home/EU rate, and a standard 
stipend at RCUK rates (from about 14,000GBP), for three years, with 1st 
Oct 2017 as envisaged start date.

Applications will be considered from 15th June 2017.

The project aims to develop a suitable framework to support the 
development of reliable and trustable blockchain-based decentralised 
applications - which currently present interesting and challenging 
research questions, including aspects of distributed consensus, 
proof-of-Xs and the "crypto-economics" of incentives, security and 
privacy. The project can be adapted to the latest developments in the 
technology, as well as specific interests or expertise of the student.

The project will be carried out under the supervision of Dr. Andrea 
Bracciali, within an international network with expertise including 
verification, game theory, and cryptography. Partner companies will 
provide industrial use cases of interest. The project also will benefit 
from the thriving fintech Scottish sector which has a strong interest in 
blockchain technologies, and could particularly contribute to the career 
development of the student.

Students with a background in, or across, computer science, economics, 
mathematics __non-exclusive list!__, and interested in a scientific 
approach to breakthrough technologies are encouraged to apply.
