The International Graduate College "Stochastics and Real World Models" Beijing-Bielefeld advertises fellowships for PhD students, starting Oct 1st, 2010

In the framework of an International Graduate College (International Research Training Group, supported by DFG) we offer fellowships for a PhD program starting October 1, 2010, for up to 3 years duration.

The program is organized by the Bielefeld University Mathematics Department in cooperation with the Departments of Economics and Physics, the research institutions IMW and BiBoS, and together with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing (partner institutions: IAM, AMSS, GUCAS). Doctorate degrees will be awarded by one of the three Departments of Bielefeld University.

The interdisciplinary training and research program is oriented towards the study of modern methods in Stochastics and their application in Physics and Economics. A structured course program will enable students to undertake research projects without undue delay. Lectures and courses by visiting scientists, as well as the exchange program with China, will further contribute to a broad and internationally viable education.

Graduates (Master level) from the aforementioned three fields with a pronounced interest in Mathematics and its interdisciplinary applications are encouraged to apply.
We are aiming to increase the proportion of female researchers in the college; given parity with respect to all other relevant criteria, female applicants will receive preferential treatment in the fellowship awarding decisions.
Candidates with physical disabilities who fulfill the abovementioned criteria are particularly encouraged to apply.


Deadline: August 13, 2010. Post-deadline applications may possibly also be considered.

Please submit PDF files of
* your completed application form (including the names and contact data two possible referees) along with
* your CV,
* copies of your diplomas and certificates,
* a sketch of your research interests, and
* possibly your written work (papers, theses, etc.),

UNIVERSITY of LIMERICK
OLLSCOIL LUIMNIGH

Applications are invited for the following position:
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Mathematics Applications Consortium for Science and Industry (MACSI) PhD studentship

A graduate studentship is available for up to four years to work under the direction of Professor Andrew Fowler on problems associated with the growth of biofilms in industrial and environmental situations. Applications of these studies will be to groundwater pollution, environmental bioremediation, medical and industrial air and water systems. The position primarily involves the construction and numerical solution of mathematical models to describe the growth of bacterial biofilms in soils and on pipe walls. The student will be part of MACSI, the Mathematics Applications Consortium for Science and Industry, at the University of Limerick.
The University of Limerick (UL) with over 11,000 students and 1,300 staff is a young, energetic and enterprising University with a proud record of innovation in education and excellence in research and scholarship. UL is situated on a superb riverside campus of over 130 hectares with the River Shannon as a unifying focal point. Outstanding recreational, cultural and sporting facilities further enhance this exceptional learning and working environment.

Candidate Profile
The candidate should hold at least a 2.1 degree in applied mathematics, mathematical bioscience, bioengineering, or a related discipline. In addition, the candidate should be able to work both independently and in a team environment and possess good organisational and communication skills. Appropriate experience in mathematical modelling and numerical computation is desirable.

Stipend
University fees will be covered and the position carries an annual stipend of €18,000 (tax free). Appointment commencing in September 2010 is highly desirable. MACSI at UL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and a stimulating research environment.

How to apply
Candidates should submit a detailed CV, transcripts of undergraduate grades, motivation letter and the names and addresses of two referees for letters of recommendation to: macsi@ul.ie .

Further information: Please contact Professor Andrew Fowler (E-mail: andrew.fowler@ ul.ie).

PhD Position Applied Mathematics

PhD Position Applied Mathematics

Description : The Delft Applied Probability Group offers a PhD position for 4 years, monthly salary up to 2600 euro. Topic: algorithms and analysis of Search Games. Application deadline: March 1st 2009 Candidates should have a MSc degree in mathematics, computer science or econometrics. Topic: A Search Game is a game of hide and seek in a given region, most often a graph or a region in euclidean space, in which the searcher is allowed to move and the hider is immobile. These type of games can be solved using discrete or continous optimization methods. If the hider is no longer immobile or if there is more than one hider, then the solution of these games becomes more involved. Solutions for the simplest regions, such as the unit interval or the triangle graph, have only recently been found. The goal of this PhD research is to extend these solutions using methods from applied probability and combinatorics. You will work with researchers from Delft
University and the London School of Economics.

This project is concerned with new models and techniques for robustly and efficiently pricing modern financial products, in particular exotic options. To this purpose we investigate numerical methods for partial differential equations that form multi-dimensional extensions of the celebrated Black-Scholes equation. The nature of the research is both theoretical (analysis and design of methods) and practical (implementation and performance analysis of the methods).

Profile:
* you have a master's degree in mathematics
* last year students can apply
* you can show excellent study results
* you have knowledge of and experience with numerical methods for (time-dependent, partial) differential equations and share an interest in mathematical price models for modern financial products such as options.
