Calculus of Variations and Geometric Measure Theory

4-year PhD student in Probability and Analysis in Eindhoven

created by peletier on 14 Oct 2019

Deadline: 15 dec 2019

Applications are invited for a PhD position at TU Eindhoven (TUe), under the supervision of Alberto Chiarini, who will be based at TUe from January 2020 onwards. Chiarini's appointment at Eindhoven is part of a larger collaboration between the Analysis and Stochastics groups of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and the PhD student will benefit from being embedded in both groups.

The subject of the PhD project will be decided together with the student, and will be chosen from a range of topics on the interface between probability theory and analysis, including Gaussian free fields, particle systems, large deviations, and partial differential equations.

Ideally, applicants have a sound training in probability theory (including stochastic processes and stochastic differential equations), analysis (including partial differential equations and functional analysis), and measure theory. Students with deficiencies in one of these areas but who are strong in others are nonetheless urged to apply.

PhD positions at TUe are salaried, fixed-term, four-year positions; the salary increases during the four years from approximately 30.000 to 50.000 euros, before tax. In addition, TUe offers a wide range of secondary benefits.

Applicants are encouraged to send their applications as early as possible; the position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found.
