1 PhD Studentship in Mathematics reserved to foreign students

University of Bari announces its Doctoral Program in Mathematics. The deadline for applications to this Doctoral Program is on December 15th, 2008.

For the admission to the Program, the students interested must follow the instructions specified in “Call for Applications” available at http://www.dm.uniba.it/dottorato/cicli/xxiv-ciclo/CallForApplications.pdf

During their Doctoral studies, the students may visit others Departments in Italy or outside Italy (for at most 18 months) to collaborate and, eventually, prepare their Doctoral theses. In such a period their
scholarships will be increased with respect the usual amount.

The length of the program is three (3) years of full-time academic research. The grant amounts to almost 1100 Euro per month.

The Doctoral Program in Mathematics is centred on an interdisciplinary perspective. The program covers seven main areas (or curriculum):

1. Analysis;
2. Algebra;
3. Geometry;
4. Mathematical Physics;
5. Probability;
6. Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computation;
7. Mathematics for Finance;
and the students have to work in one of these areas. Candidates are also expected to complete a thesis within this period.

Applicants are required to have finished an undergraduate program of at least four years, for instance a Bachelor and Master degree, in the scientific area of Mathematics or Physics or Computer Science.

Feel free to contact the Coordinator of the Doctoral Program, Prof. Luciano Lopez, (lopezl@dm.uniba.it) for any reason.
