PhD Position in Applied Mathematics at Austrian Academy of Sciences

Description:
The Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) in Linz is looking for 1 PhD student in the field of the optimal control and optimisation. This position is part of the FWF (Austrian Science Fund) project "Numerical verification of optimality and optimality conditions for optimal control problems".

Requirements:
A master`s degree in (applied) mathematics or a closely related field is required. The successful candidate should have an excellent background in applied mathematics, optimization, partial differential equations, and their numerics. Programming skills are desirable.

The Bonn International Graduate School in Mathematics (BIGS-Mathematics), embraced by the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, a Cluster of Excellence established within the German government`s Excellence Initiative, offers a PhD program in mathematics based upon the well-known teaching and research tradition of the Department of Mathematics and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. Research topics for dissertations can be chosen from the following sections:

1. Algebra and number theory (J. Franke, G. Harder, M. Rapoport, J. Schröer, C. Stroppel, D. Zagier)
2. Algebraic and arithmetic geometry (G.Faltings, G.Harder, D.Huybrechts, N. Perrin, M.Rapoport)

The School of Mathematical Sciences at Monash University has an active group of staff involved in leading-edge research in applied mathematics, in most cases also utilising modern computational methods. Currently, there are about 20 staff and about 35 research students working in the broad fields of applied and computational mathematics.

The School is located at the Clayton campus of Monash University, which is situated in the suburbs of Melbourne, capital city in the southern state of Victoria, Australia. Melbourne is a modern city with an vibrant cultural life and a population of about 3.8 million (spread over a large area). It has a moderate oceanic climate, with average
