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.
