Calculus of Variations and Geometric Measure Theory

ERC Postdoc position at Bocconi University, Milan

created by bruè on 26 Oct 2026

Deadline: 27 nov 2026

Applications are invited for a 24-month postdoctoral research position in Analysis at Bocconi University (Milan, Italy), with the possibility of renewal. The intended starting date is 1 September 2027, with some flexibility.

The position is funded by the ERC project MIND — Mathematical Insights into Dynamics of Incompressible Turbulence (Grant Agreement 101219635; PI: Elia Bruè) and will focus on the mathematical analysis of PDE models arising in incompressible turbulence.

We welcome candidates with research interests in Partial Differential Equations, particularly in the dynamics of incompressible fluids in turbulent regimes and related problems. We also strongly encourage applications from researchers with a background in physics, applied mathematics, or numerical simulations of turbulent phenomena, provided they are interested in developing rigorous mathematical approaches to fundamental questions in turbulence. The project aims to bring together ideas from PDEs, fluid dynamics, dynamical systems, and turbulence theory, and there will be substantial freedom to explore new directions within this broad research program.

The successful candidate will work within Prof. Bruè’s research group. The position carries no teaching duties.

Salary: the gross annual salary is in the range €45,000–€65,000, depending on qualifications and experience.
