Open position: 1 PhD position
Centre of Mathematics for Applications (CMA) was on March 1, 2003,
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 are also participants (centre
members) from the universities in Bergen and Trondheim. Read more
about CMA here.
We hereby invite applications
for 1 PhD position
- The position is available from January 1, 2006, but the start
date may be delayed if necessary.
- Applications with all necessary enclosures must be received
by December 1 , 2005
- The position will be granted for a period of 3 years.
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 is on mathematics motivated from applications, with emphasis
on problems arising from modern scientific computing. The activity
in the centre is 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 specifically focuses on research
activities on the boundaries and intersections of these areas. The full research plan can be found here
This specific position is tied to a project of Professor Kenneth Karlsen, and we seek a candidate with scientific background within one out of these two areas:
- Non-linear partial differential equations with experience from (or at least interest for) conservation laws / Navier-Stokes' equations and fluid flow phenomena.
- Mathematical finance with experience from (or at least interest for) the connection to partial differential equations and/or duality methods
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.
