Third-cycle subject: Applied and Computational Mathematics, specialization Numerical Analysis.
The department of Mathematics at the Royal Institute of Technology seeks applications for a Ph.D student position in Applied and Computational Mathematics with specialization in Numerical Analysis. The research project will be focused on development of numerical methods primarily for applications within micro-fluidics (fluid dynamics at the micro scale). The algorithms will to a large extent be based on boundary integral equations, and the project will span over theory, algorithms, software and applications. A specific challenge that will be addressed in the project is how the numerical methods can be further developed for solution of parabolic partial differential equations in time dependent domains (e.g in the interior of a viscous deformable drop).
Supervision: Anna-Karin Tornberg is proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission
To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:
The special requirements for the doctoral program are studies on the second cycle level with specialization in mathematics, applied mathematics or computational mathematics.
In addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6, read more here
In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:
A competitive candidate should have a strong background in applied mathematics, in particular with demonstrated good understanding in topics related to numerical analysis/computational mathematics, and with good programming skills. Knowledge in fluid mechanics or another application area is also of merit. The applicant should have a genuine interest in basic research and development. In addition fluency in English is required, both in speech and in writing.
After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal competency.
Target degree: Doctoral degree
Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years ' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years.
