PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Mathematics in New Zealand

Fully funded PhD position in Logistics and Supply Chain Management at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, starting in March 2027. The thesis will investigate decision support for emergency fuel supply in New Zealand. The project will model post-disaster diesel supply disruptions and evaluate potential interventions, contributing to research on natural hazards, supply chain resilience and emergency logistics. The doctoral researcher will use network analysis, optimisation modelling and simu...

Postdoctoral opportunity in plant physiology , electronic engineering , and mathematics at Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand. Professor Sebastian Leuzinger shared that a postdoc is now available in his group for a highly interdisciplinary, “very blue sky” research project. The role is framed as a Research Fellow position and appears to sit at the intersection of plant ecology, global change science, and engineering/mathematical approaches. This is a strong fit for candidates who c...

PhD opportunity at the University of Waikato (Hamilton Campus, New Zealand) in high-entropy alloys , hydrogen storage , and atomic-scale modelling . The project investigates hydrogenation and dehydrogenation mechanisms in HEAs using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) simulations, with a focus on how composition and atomic-scale structure affect hydrogen absorption/desorption behaviour and the underlying thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms. This is an international collaboration in...

PhD opportunity at the University of Waikato, New Zealand in Building Resilient Coasts: Long-Term Dynamics of Nature-Based Solutions . This project focuses on the long-term evolution of coastal nature-based solutions (NbS) for reducing hazards such as storm surge, flooding, and erosion, while also considering ecological co-benefits. The research sits at the intersection of Earth Science , Environmental Science , Civil Engineering , and modelling-based coastal research, with possible emphasis on ...
