PhD student positions in Scientific Computing 2016
The Division of Scientific Computing at Uppsala University is a leading center for research and education in Scientific Computing. The research has a broad scope, ranging from numerical analysis over software development and high-performance computing to collaborative projects in Computational Science and Engineering, and industrial applications. The research is organized in two research programs (Computational Science and Numerical Analysis) with a common, rather extensive graduate (PhD) education program in Scientific Computing. Many of the PhD student projects include collaboration and joint supervision with other partners, both at Uppsala Univesity and e.g. at Stanford University, USA and ETH, Zürich. More information on the research at the Division is given here.
The Division has an extensive international and national research network, including participation in e.g. the Uppsala-Lund-Umeå e-Science consortium eSSENCE, which is a new major Strategic Research Area effort funded by the Swedish Ministry of Education. The Division also leads the Uppsala Center for Interdisciplinary Mathematics (CIM) and participates in the parallel programming Center of Excellence UPMARC funded by the Swedish Research Council.
The Division hereby announces up to two new PhD student positions. The application should include a letter with a description of the candidate's research interests and earlier experience. Candidates are encouraged to indicate which project(s) that interests them. A number of possible PhD projects are posted below. The application should also contain a CV, copies of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of the Master thesis (or a draft thereof), relevant publications, and other relevant documents. The plan is to invite a selection of the candidates to an interview before the positions are filled.
A PhD student position requires a Master of Science or an equivalent exam in a field which is relevant for the topic of the PhD thesis. However, candidates which can be assumed to be awarded a Master degree soon (e.g. currently working on their Masters thesis) are also eligible to apply. Candidates should mention the earliest feasible starting date of employment.
The PhD student position is for a maximum of five years of study and includes departmental duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching).
The deadline for applications (written in Swedish or English) is February 28 2016.
The formal announcement is available here
and the electronic application form is available here.
