PhD positions – Singapore University of Technology and Design

There exist excellent opportunities for bright and motivated students
who want to pursue PhD study at the newly established Singapore
University of Technology and Design (SUTD) within the Engineering
Systems and Design (ESD) Pillar.

SUTD has been established in collaboration with MIT with a mission to
advance knowledge and nurture technically grounded leaders and
innovators to serve societal needs. Professor Thomas Magnanti, former
Dean of Engineering at MIT (and former President of INFORMS), is the
Founding President of SUTD.

The faculty in ESD is growing rapidly with a steady-state target of
over 70 faculty members, making it one of the largest such
multidisciplinary programs in the world, blending the fields of
operations research, management science, applied probability and
statistics, applied mathematics, and decision sciences.

Based in one of the world’s biggest financial and technological hubs,
with an ever-growing academic community, and a culturally diverse and
vibrant population, the ESD PhD program at SUTD aims to provide
students with a strong technical foundation that emphasizes
inter-disciplinary and collaborative research. The program is
mentoring-intensive with a unique flexible advising structure that
allows students to work with multiple faculty members and vice-versa.
Qualified PhD applicants are offered highly attractive financial
packages covering tuition, a monthly stipend and support for
conference and workshop travel.
