======================================================

Trustable decentralised applications on reliable blockchain technologies


	Fully-funded PhD Studentship
	University of Stirling, UK

======================================================


A fully funded PhD studentship on Trustable dapps on reliable blockchain 
technologies
is available at the Computing Science and Mathematics division of the 
University of
Stirling, UK, in collaboration with Wallet.Services 
(www.wallet.services).



The goal of this project is the design of a suitable framework to 
support the development
of reliable and trustable blockchain-based decentralised applications. 
This project benefits
from the participation of WalletServices (www.wallet.services), a 
well-established startup
in the global fintech sector. WalletServices will provide use cases of 
interest and their
industrial know-how to the project. The scientific project will take in 
consideration the latest
developments in the technology, including, for instance, off-chain and 
multi-chain frameworks,
tokenomics, proof of stake, blockchain programming and verification 
aspects. Specific
interests and expertise of the student will also be taken into due 
consideration, as appropriate.

This project will be carried out under the joint supervision of Dr. 
Andrea Bracciali and
WalletServices, within an international academic network with expertise 
in verification,
game theory, cryptography, programming languages, modelling and finance, 
and will
enjoy the support of a growing multidisciplinary group of researchers 
and students
interested in blockchain technologies.

This project will also benefit from the thriving fintech Scottish 
sector, which has a strong
interest in blockchain technologies, and could particularly contribute 
to the, academic or
industrial, 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. Exposure to formal verification, programming 
languages, game
theory and/or understanding of “crypto-economics”, and/or competence in 
software
development are a plus.

The studentship will cover tuition fees, and a standard stipend at RCUK 
rates (from
about 14/15k GBP per annum), for three years for Home/EU students.

Interested candidates are invited to contact

should they wish to apply for the position, or further discuss the 
project and any detail
of the fellowship, PhD studies and university life at Stirling 
University and in Scotland
in general. We would like to fill the position shortly, but the start 
date can be negotiated.
We are planning to start interviewing applicants no later than October 
11th and until the
position will be filled.
