PhD Position in Harmonic Analytic Methods for (Stochastic) Partial Differential Equations Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

The Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) invites applications for a full-time PhD position in harmonic analysis, focusing on the development of analytic tools for both deterministic and stochastic partial differential equations (PDEs). The successful candidate will join the Analysis group, working under the supervision of Dr. Emiel Lorist, and will contribute to advancing mathematical methods with applications in a variety of scientific and engineering contexts.

The project centers on harmonic analytic methods relevant to PDEs, with opportunities to explore both theoretical and applied aspects. The position is fully funded for four years, with a flexible start date (September 2026 is suggested). The PhD candidate will benefit from a vibrant research environment, support for learning new mathematical techniques, and opportunities to present research at national and international conferences, with travel funding provided.

The role includes a small teaching component (up to 15% of contract time), conducted in English or Dutch. TU Delft offers Dutch language courses for those interested. The university is renowned for its strong international profile, innovative research, and commitment to diversity and inclusion. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) provides excellent facilities and a collaborative atmosphere for interdisciplinary research.

Employment conditions include a 4-year contract (split into two phases), a competitive salary ranging from €3059 to €3881 gross per month, 8% holiday allowance, 8.3% end-of-year bonus, and additional benefits such as health insurance discounts and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work arrangements and comprehensive relocation support are available for international candidates.

Applicants should hold or be close to completing a Master's degree in Mathematics or a closely related field, with a solid foundation in analysis. Proof of English proficiency is required. Application materials include a CV, motivational letter, Master's grade transcript, and a copy of the (draft) Master's thesis or a similar mathematical project report. Applications must be submitted online via the TU Delft careers portal; email or postal applications will not be considered.
