Italy: PhD Studentship in Mathematics, University of Bari

PhD Studentship in Mathematics, University of Bari, Italy


1 PhD Studentship in Mathematics reserved to foreign students

University of Bari announces its Doctoral Program in Mathematics. The deadline for applications to this Doctoral Program is on December 15th, 2008.

For the admission to the Program, the students interested must follow the instructions specified in “Call for Applications“.

During their Doctoral studies, the students may visit others Departments in Italy or outside Italy (for at most 18 months) to collaborate and, eventually, prepare their Doctoral theses. In such a period their
scholarships will be increased with respect the usual amount.

The length of the program is three (3) years of full-time academic research. The grant amounts to almost 1100 Euro per month.

The Doctoral Program in Mathematics is centred on an interdisciplinary perspective. The program covers seven main areas (or curriculum):

1. Analysis;
2. Algebra;
3. Geometry;
4. Mathematical Physics;
5. Probability;
6. Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computation;
7. Mathematics for Finance;

and the students have to work in one of these areas. Candidates are also expected to complete a thesis within this period.

Applicants are required to have finished an undergraduate program of at least four years, for instance a Bachelor and Master degree, in the scientific area of Mathematics or Physics or Computer Science.

Feel free to contact the Coordinator of the Doctoral Program, Prof. Luciano Lopez, (lopezl[ at ]dm.uniba.it) for any reason.

Application deadline: December 15, 2008 h:12,00
How to apply: Applications should be made using the application form.

Israel: Postdoctoral Position in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Prof. Baruch Meerson at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (http://www.phys.huji.ac.il/~meerson/) expects to have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics beginning on October 1 2009. The postdoc will investigate, analytically and numerically, large fluctuations in stochastic population dynamics models. A successful candidate will be submitted for a Lady Davis Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Hebrew University.

Information about the Lady Davis Fellowships is available at http://ldft.huji.ac.il/upload/info/infoHU.html.

Applications with CV, one-page research statement and three letters of recommendations should be sent until December 15 2008 to meerson[ at ]cc.huji.ac.il or in hard copy to:

Prof. B. Meerson,
Racah Institute of Physics,
Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
Jerusalem 91904 Israel.

Deadline: December 15 2008
