Open Positions

The Ph.D. school in Information Engineering of the University of Florence has recently funded a scholarship in “Topological characterization of network dynamics”. The scholarship falls within the university program in multidisciplinary education, and therefore it is open to graduate students coming from various fields, such as Engineering, Physics and Mathematics. The scholarship lasts 3 years, and it is completely funded during this time. The winner has to attend the Ph.D. school during these years and will have to write a dissertation to earn the PhD degree.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in “Ergodic properties of dynamical systems” within the research project PRA_2017_22 funded by the University of Pisa.

The Italian National Institute for Advanced Mathematics (INdAM) calls for 6 Research Projects to be submitted by “Young Researchers”.

The goal of the initiative is to foster the rise of new leaders in mathematical research, who will be able to compete for ERC Starting Grants and similar Research Funding Schemes.

The selected projects will have the duration of 1 year with no possibility of renewal and will be given funds for a postdoctoral position, which might be filled by the applicant him/herself. Each proposal must indicate an institution of reference, among those recognized by INdAM.

The Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) has opened a new call for PhD applications (deadline 31 May 2017).

40 positions (all with fellowship) are available starting from 1 November 2017 in:

• Astroparticle Physics
• Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences
• Computer Science
• Urban Studies and Regional Science

GSSI is an international PhD school and a center for advanced studies established in L’Aquila (Italy). Its purpose is to form high level human capital, integrating education and research in a lively interdisciplinary environment.

A vacancy for a post-doctorate research scholarship in the framework of “Programa Nacional de Pós Doutorado PNPD-CAPES” (National post-doctoral programme PNPD-CAPES) associated to the PhD Program in Mathematics UFBA/UFAL is available from May 1st, 2017.

The applicant is expected to be a Doctorate with high research potential in Mathematics, without a job contract, and with potential for interaction with the research groups of the PhD Program. The value of the scholarship is R$4100,00 (four thousand and one houndred brazillian real) per month.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position (BPD) in Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems within the project PTDC/MAT-CAL/3884/2014 funded by the FCT (Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation).

Applicants must hold a PhD in Mathematics or in a related field, preferably obtained less than 6 years ago and have research experience in at least one of the main research areas of the project.

The initial contract will be for 12 months, renewable for another 12 months on mutual agreement. The expected starting date is May 1, 2017 though some flexibility may be possible. The monthly salary is 1495 euros (tax free). There are no compulsory teaching duties associated with this position.

The Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas (ICMAT-Institute of Mathematical Sciences) offers postdoctoral appointments for researchers in Mathematics with an excellent curriculum who wish to pursue their research career at the ICMAT.

Deadline March 1, 2017
