The Dept of CS at Oxford has just advertised up to 15 DPhil (Oxford's PhD) scholarships to start in Oct 2017. I would be very happy to see applications from strong students in functional programming among those scholarships. If you'd like to discuss, please get in touch. In particular, if you were at PLMW at ICFP on Sunday, please speak to me in person - I am also at ICFP, leaving on Sunday. See http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/news/1182-full.html for the advert; text quoted below.
