The university will also provide a limited form of medical scheme as part of the package. It is possible to supplement your income by doing teaching, for which you would be paid extra, provided funds are available, and you have some track record in teaching in an area where we have a need for additional help. Once we have established that we could host you, we will need a full curriculum vitae, and three contactable references. If we decide to go ahead with supporting your application, we will put it to the university administration, and should have a response within two weeks. Applicants will be considered most favourably if they have already established a research track record while working on their PhD, and if they have good English skills.
Plain text is usually good enough.
Otherwise, consider Postscript or PDF, as these formats are more portable. The mainstream research equipment in the department is PCs running Linux. Macs are also used, and a limited number of PCs running Windows. We also have some SGIs, but they are gradually being phased, out since Linux has proved to be more cost-effective. International Links Members of the department have done collaborative research with international bodies such as LAAS-CNRS in France, and maintain links with departments in other parts of the world which they have visited for sabbaticals, or where they have done their PhDs.
