About this position
The Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in L’Aquila, Italy, is offering six fully funded positions within its four-year PhD programme in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences. The Fluid Dynamics area welcomes applicants to develop their own research focus rather than joining a predefined project.
The Fluid Dynamics group investigates a broad range of problems in fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics, including turbulent flows, high-speed aerodynamics, heat transfer, hydrodynamic stability, cardiovascular fluid dynamics, numerical methods for fluid flows, two-phase flows, and high-performance computing. This breadth supports research spanning fundamental fluid physics, applied mathematics, engineering applications, and computational modelling.
The programme provides an international research environment in which English is the official language. Doctoral researchers can work with the GSSI Fluid Dynamics group on topics aligned with their interests, making the opportunity suitable for applicants seeking research independence across mathematical, physical, aerospace, mechanical, and computational perspectives.
Research at GSSI connects advanced numerical methods and high-performance computing with theoretical and applied studies of complex flows, from turbulent and multiphase systems to aerodynamic, thermal, and biomedical flow problems.
Funding details
Four-year, fully funded PhD scholarship with a research allowance, free accommodation in GSSI facilities or an equivalent financial contribution, and other benefits. The programme has no teaching duties.
What's required
Applicants must hold a Master’s degree (Laurea Magistrale/Specialistica or an equivalent four- or five-year degree) by the application deadline and have good knowledge of English. Candidates with backgrounds in fluid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, applied mathematics, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or computational physics are particularly encouraged. Required documents include a valid signed and dated identity document, curriculum vitae et studiorum, degree certificate or permitted self-declaration, academic transcript with translation where necessary, a motivational letter describing research interests and reasons for applying, and optionally up to three publications. Applicants must identify referees online; reference letters must be uploaded directly by referees in English or Italian.
How to apply
Submit the application exclusively through the GSSI online application portal at https://applications.gssi.it/. Upload the required PDF documents and provide referee details so referees can submit their letters directly. Applications sent by email or by other methods will not be accepted.
