Open positions: 2 PhD Scholarships
Centre of Mathematics for Applications (CMA) is funded as a 'Centre
of Excellence' by the Research Council of Norway. CMA is one of
three such centres at the University of Oslo.
The departments of Informatics, Mathematics, Physics and the Institute
of Theoretical Astrophysics are involved, with collaboration from
SINTEF Applied Mathematics. There will also be participants (centre
members) from the universities in Bergen and Trondheim. Read more
about CMA here.
We hereby invite applications
for 2 PhD scholarships
- The position(s) are available from 1 October 2004, but the start
date may be delayed if necessary.
- Applications with all necessary enclosures must be received
by 7 September 2004.
- The PhD positions will be granted for a maximum period of 3
years.
- Salary at scale of pay 37-41 (p.t. NOK 283.300 - 301.700), depending
on relevant working experience.
The main vision of CMA is to create a national research centre
in mathematics where top class scientists from different areas can
work together with a joint perspective and common goals. The main
focus will be on mathematics motivated from applications, with emphasis
on problems arising from modern scientific computing. The activity
in the centre will be built upon 4 different research areas: geometry,
stochastic analysis, differential equations and applications in
the physical sciences (mainly within astrophysics and computational
quantum mechanics). The centre will specifically focus on research
activities on the boundaries and intersections of these areas.
Applicants will be evaluated and ranked with respect to the research
plan of the centre. Whoever is employed must demonstrate their scientific
competence within mathematics or a related applied area. Preference
will be given to applicants with experience of computational problems
within the relevant areas, or with experience in problems that combine
aspects from two or more of the areas.
The full research plan can be found here
One of the positions are dedicated to the research area of non-linear
partial differential equations. Of particular relevance are candidates
that have interest in the interplay between nonlinear partial differential
equations and mathematical finance/stochastic analysis. This position
is connected to a special project of CMA member Professor Kenneth
Karlsen. The other position has no further preferences than stated
above.
Applications must include complete information about education
at both bachelor and master level, and documented scientific experience.
All employees must satisfy the entrance requirements for the doctoral
degree programme at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
Women are especially encouraged to apply.
