PhD scholarship in Applied Mathematics
1 day ago
Are you interested in gaining the qualifications and experience to pursue a career where advanced mathematical techniques are developed? Would you like to advance applied mathematics and deepen our understanding of various applications? Then a PhD in mathematics at DTU Compute is the ideal place for you.
We seek an ambitious and highly motivated PhD candidate with a strong background and interest in mathematics. This position is funded by the Danish Research Council Project 1 (DRC-1), which aims to address fundamental problems in geometric singular perturbation theory within the setting of slow-fast analytic vector fields.
The position is based at the Section for Mathematics at DTU Compute in Lyngby, Denmark, which is within the greater Copenhagen area. It will involve collaboration with a project partner based in Australia.
Responsibilities and qualifications
You are expected to:
- Develop novel mathematical theory in line with the DRC-1 project goals.
