Offer Description

Mathematics: Swansea University Research Excellence Scholarships (SURES): Fully Funded PhD Scholarship: Enriched Motives and Transfers

Motivic homotopy theory is a spectacular area of mathematics, with many powerful applications within and around mathematics. It has significantly impacted algebraic geometry through innovations which have led to the solution of a number of longstanding problems, such as the Milnor Conjecture (Voevodsky) or the Bloch–Kato Conjecture (Rost–Voevodsky). In addition, these developments have spurred on new discoveries in number theory and algebraic topology. 

This project is to explore and develop further aspects of enriched motivic homotopy theory which is of major importance for constructing various categories of non-linear motives and motivic Gamma-spaces, a framework for infinite loop spaces and very effective spectra in the algebro-geometric setting of motivic homotopy theory. Applications of this research are expected in algebraic geometry, algebraic topology and category theory.

Skills/Qualifications

Candidates must have attained, or must be expected to attain, a first-class honours degree and/or a distinction at master’s level.ficiency. 

• Where applicants have multiple master’s degrees, a distinction must be held in the degree that is most relevant to the intended PhD study. 
• If you are currently studying for a master’s level qualification with an expected award date that is later than 01/10/2024, you should hold a minimum of an upper-second-class (2:1) honours degree.   
• You should be able to demonstrate a pass with a minimum grade average of at least 70% for your part-one master’s degree modules (the taught aspect of your master’s course rather than a research-focused dissertation) and submit your dissertation by no later than 30/09/2024.  

Applicants must be able to begin their course of study in October 2024. As a cohort-based programme, deferral to an alternative enrolment window within the academic year or to another academic year is not permissible.

Specific Requirements

Please note that both the degree and language-proficiency entry requirements for SURES are higher than the baseline standard for entry that is stipulated for most of the PhD programmes at Swansea University. 

Due to funding restrictions, this scholarship is open to applicants eligible to pay tuition fees at the UK rate only, as defined by UKCISA regulations .  

Additional Information
Benefits

This scholarship covers the full cost of UK tuition fees and an annual stipend at UKRI rate (currently £18,622 for 2023/24).

Additional research expenses will also be available.
