PhD studies can be undertaken in the following areas: mathematics, mathematical statistics, and computational science. There are currently 24 active PhD students working at our department.
Doctoral students at the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics are as a general rule employees of the university under a fixed-term contract of four years of full-time study. Quite often, a moderate amount of teaching can be part of the position in which case the term can be extended to a maximum of five years. PhD students at the department are required to take a certain amount of doctoral courses, normally corresponding to 1-2 years of study. During the remaining time, the PhD student works under the supervision of their supervisor(s) on completing a doctoral thesis, which would typically consist of 4-5 publishable papers on the subject of study.
Formal requirements and instructions on how to apply are listed in the respective advertisements. For specific information about the scientific content of a position, please contact the principal supervisor directly. The listed open positions are generally the only form of funding available.
