PhD Opportunities in Applied Mathematics in Finland

The Numerical Analysis group within the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics at TU Delft is offering a full-time PhD position focused on efficient structure-preserving finite element methods for time-dependent PDEs . The project asks how numerical simulations can be designed so that they do not merely approximate physical laws, but preserve important mathematical and physical structure exactly. You will work on the construction of structure-preserving discretizations for time-dependent partial...

The University of Manchester is recruiting a PhD student to join its Mathematical Biomedicine Group through an international strategic partnership with the University of Bergen in Norway. This project investigates whether mathematical modelling can help personalise hormone replacement therapies for people living with Addison's disease. Conventional cortisol replacement treatments can struggle to reproduce the natural daily rhythms of this essential hormone. The research will explore personalised...

The Kavli Newnham Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin Postgraduate Studentship Programme offers an international PhD pathway for outstanding women in STEM at the University of Cambridge. The programme is hosted through the Kavli Institute for Cosmology Cambridge (KICC) and Newnham College, creating a cohort of researchers working across cosmology, astrophysics, astronomy, physics, applied mathematics and theoretical physics. Students pursue a PhD project within the scientific themes of KICC and apply throu...

Gesse R., an Assistant Professor at Villanova University, is seeking a PhD student to join a research group working in computational soft matter . The fully funded position is scheduled to start in Fall 2027. The group studies the modeling and simulation of particles—including both active and passive particles—and macromolecules in fluids. The research involves computational approaches to soft matter, fluid mechanics, colloidal physics, numerical methods, and applied mathematics, with potential ...

The DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Summer Student Experience is a paid summer research opportunity at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory for students and recent graduates. Participants are paired with scientists and engineers across ARL’s seven fundamental research divisions and may contribute to high-priority projects supporting Army technology development and future operational needs. The program sits within the ARL Research Associateship Program , which connects academic researchers with the ...

The PhD Programme in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Göttingen is a research-oriented doctoral programme centered on pure and applied mathematics, with a clear emphasis on applications and interdisciplinary work. The programme highlights how mathematics contributes to technology and science, and places this within Göttingen’s strong mathematical tradition, including historical links to astronomy, geodesy, and the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. Students are trained for ...

The PhD Programme in Biomedical Data Science (BIOMEDAS) at Hannover Medical School is a cross-university doctoral programme built around biomedical data science in translational research. It brings together partners from the regional research landscape, including Braunschweig Integrated Centre of Systems Biology (BRICS) , Centre of Individualised Infection Medicine (CiiM) , German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) , Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicin...

Aston University is offering a fully funded PhD within the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies on data-driven Koopman modelling and inversion of nonlinear optical-fibre channels. The 3.5-year cross-disciplinary project is supported by the Leverhulme Trust research project “Koopman Operator Method for Optical Communications (KOMET-COM)” and includes a two-month placement at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. The research will develop Koopman operator methods for modelling and comp...

This fully funded PhD opportunity at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) focuses on multiphysics simulation, applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. The research is situated within CEA’s nuclear engineering and fuel physics applications, with supervision based at CEA Saclay and CEA Cadarache. The doctoral researcher will develop a generic, scalable, and dynamic algorithm for multiphysics coupling. The goal is to detect the interaction str...
