Doctoral students in mathematics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

At the division of Mathematics, there are lively research groups in a number of areas, for example Algebra and geometry, Combinatorics, Complex analysis, Differential geometry and general relativity, Dynamical systems, Harmonic analysis, Mathematical physics, Number theory, Numerical analysis, Partial differential equations, and Spectral theory. More information can be found at www.math.kth.se. At the moment, there are about 20 graduate students at the division.

The Doctoral student positions primarily involve graduate level studies with the goal of a doctoral degree. Also some departmental duties are included, mainly teaching basic level courses. General information on doctoral studies at KTH can be found at www.kth.se/en/studies/phd, information about the graduate program in mathematics can be found at https://www.kth.se/en/sci/institutioner/math/utb/doktorsprogram.  

Applications within the areas listed below are welcome. For further details, please contact the corresponding advisor. Applications in other areas may also be considered; inquiries may be directed to the head of the Doctoral student program, Tilman Bauer. 

• Analytic number theory and additive combinatorics (advisor: Lilian Matthiesen, matthiesen@math.kth.se, http://www.lilianmatthiesen.com/)
• Number theory with connections to dynamics and quantum chaos (advisor: Pär Kurlberg, kurlberg@kth.se, https://people.kth.se/~kurlberg)
• Interactions of probability and complex analysis (advisor: Fredrik Viklund, frejo@kth.se, https://people.kth.se/~frejo/)
• Free boundary problems on a graphs and lattices (advisor: Henrik Shahgholian, henriksh@kth.se, https://people.kth.se/~henriksh/)
• Non-linear systems of partial differential equations with a particular view to free boundary problems and solid mechanics (advisor: John Andersson, johnan@kth.se)
• Algebraic combinatorics and/or zeros of polynomials in one or several variables (advisor: Petter Brändén, pbranden@kth.se)

The employment is for a maximum of five years. Up to 20% departmental duties are included in the employment.

Qualifications

A university degree with an emphasis on mathematics (240 credit points) is a necessary qualification, with a master's thesis (or equivalent) preferably in the subject of mathematics. In addition to traditional academic merits, a degree project or master's thesis relevant for the specialization, international experience, and language skills are regarded as merits.

Applicants must be strongly motivated for doctoral studies, possess the ability to work independently and perform critical analysis, and possess good levels of cooperative and communicative abilities.
