5 DEL CSIT PhD Studentships in Capital Markets Engineering
With Invest NI, the University of Ulster and Queen's University Belfast, five of the world's leading capital markets firms - CITIBANK, FIDESSA, FIRST DERIVATIVES, NYSE Technologies and SINGULARITY have come together to establish a research collaboration in Capital Markets Engineering. This initiative represents a unique opportunity for those wishing to develop expertise in this essential sector for our local economy.
The School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer now invite applications for 5 of these PhD Studentships to be based at the Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology (ECIT), Queen's University Belfast. It is envisaged that the students will also spend a considerable amount of time at the company locations. The studentships while distinct and individually tailored will enhance and contribute to the overall objective of creating significant research collaboration between industry and the two universities, by addressing complementary problems of interest to the overall consortium of companies.
