Four PhD Positions in Interdisciplinary Mathematics, Sweden

/ February 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The PhD students will work with an interdisciplinary mathematics research project, supervised by at least two PhD advisors working in different research disciplines. Ideally, at least one of these disciplines should be in the mathematical sciences, which here includes mathematical statistics, computational science and control systems. The second research discipline should have a connection to complex and dynamical systems, such as those found in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, finance etc.

PhD students will be expected to engage actively in the activities of the centre and the graduate school, i.e. seminars, scientific consultation and so on. They will be required to take at least 30hp (6 months full time study) PhD level mathematics and modelling courses offered by the mathematics and scientific computing departments.

Eligibility: The candidates are expected to have an interest in applied mathematics and/or using models in an interdisciplinary context. A PhD student position requires a Master of Science in a field that is relevant for conducting research in applied mathematics, e.g. mathematics, engineering physics or scientific computing. Candidates with a background in another area of science, e.g. chemistry or biology, with a strong competence and interest in mathematical modeling are also encouraged to apply.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 April 2011

PhD Studentship in Glaciology, Uppsala University, Sweden

/ February 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The position is announced as a part of the project “Stability and Variations of Arctic Land Ice” (SVALI) under the Top-level Research Initiative which is a major Nordic collaborative venture for studies of climate, energy and the environment. SVALI is a Nordic Centre of Excellence within the TRI sub-programme “Interaction between Climate Change and the Cryosphere” (ICCC) which aims to improve our understanding of stability, variations and dynamics of the cryosphere.

The position is a 4-year appointment but can be extended by including departmental duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching). The candidates should be able to start during the spring semester of 2011, ideally in April.

Applications must include a brief description in English (or Swedish) of research interests and past experience that are relevant to the position, a CV, a copy/abstract of the Master/Diploma thesis (or the current draft thereof, if it is unfinished), other relevant documents, as well as the earliest feasible starting date of employment. Candidates must provide contact information to at least two referees.
