PhD Opportunities in Computational Science in Portugal

[Home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend for eligible students.] This PhD studentship at the University of Exeter explores how machine learning can be used to model the building blocks of the weather forecast in a more interpretable, efficient, stable and robust way. The project starts from a key challenge in modern machine-learning weather prediction: although ML weather models can outperform traditional approaches on some measures, they may be difficult to explain and can struggle ou...

Rowan University’s Department of Mathematics is offering fully funded PhD positions in applied mathematics through the BioComp Group, led by Dr. Guansheng Li.

This PhD project addresses a core challenge in semiconductor metrology: recovering nanoscale physical information from limited, noisy, and low-resolution images. The work focuses on developing a physics-informed machine learning approach that combines physical simulation of the measurement process with inverse reconstruction methods, aiming to infer hidden properties of modern chip structures efficiently and reliably. The project is situated at ARCNL, an institute dedicated to fundamental resear...

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...
