About this position
The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen is offering PhD stipends in Statistics and the mathematics of Insurance and Economics. The call sits within the sections of Insurance and Economics and Statistics and Probability Theory, and is based in a research-intensive department with active PhD, postdoc, and visitor programs in central Copenhagen.
Students may develop projects in several directions, including optimal transport and adapted Wasserstein metrics, and causality and reliable machine learning at the Copenhagen Causality Lab. The advert also welcomes proposals in related areas across statistics, mathematics-economics, and actuarial science, with applicants encouraged to shape their own research angle and show how it fits the surrounding group and broader network.
The environment is highly international and collaborative, with connections mentioned to the Pioneer Centre for AI and SMARTbiomed. The department emphasizes independent research under supervision, participation in active research environments, dissemination of results, and the preparation of scientific papers and a PhD thesis.
Applicants are invited to indicate preferred project(s) and supervisor(s), and may contact researchers in the relevant sections to discuss possible projects before applying.
