About this position
The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for PhD stipends in mathematics across a broad set of research areas. The available projects span algebraic and arithmetic geometry, applied algebra, combinatorics, geometric group theory, geometry and geometric analysis, number theory, representation theory, topology, classical analysis, descriptive set theory, functional analysis, harmonic analysis, history of mathematics, mathematical physics, operator algebras, partial differential equations, and topics connected to quantum information, quantum computation, and quantum simulation.
The position is based in the Department of Mathematical Sciences (MATH), which hosts strong research groups and active PhD, postdoc, and visitor programmes. The department describes a dynamic and international research environment with around 50 permanent scientific staff members, about 60 PhD students, and 35 postdocs. Its buildings are located in central Copenhagen near Fælledparken.
Applicants are expected to formulate a project that fits one of the department’s research areas and to work under supervision as part of an active mathematical research community. The programme includes independent research, PhD coursework, teaching and knowledge dissemination, writing scientific papers, and preparing and defending the thesis. Students are also expected to participate in research environments and spend time at another research institution, preferably abroad.
The advert is connected to the section Algebra & Geometry and Copenhagen Center for Geometry & Topology (GeoTop), as well as the section Analysis and Quantum, the Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory, and the Quantum for Life Center.
