Dear Colleagues,

The Institute of Fundamental Sciences of Massey University, Palmerston North, invites applications for a PhD scholarship in mathematics.

The research will be in the area of dynamical systems, supervised by Dr. David Simpson. The scholarship covers all tuition fees for international and domestic students and includes tax-free stipend of NZ$25,000 annually for up to three years.

Applicants should have or expect to receive a BSc(Hons) or MSc or equivalent in mathematics. Previous graduate-level studies in dynamical systems is highly desirable. The starting date is flexible but must be in 2017.

Applications including a CV, academic transcript, and cover letter should be sent to Dr. David Simpson, Institute of Fundamental Sciences, Massey University, Palmerston North, 4442, New Zealand, or by email to d.j.w.simpson(at)massey.ac.nz.

For more information about Massey University please visit http://www.massey.ac.nz. The theory of dynamical systems seeks to explain the behaviour of natural and man-made systems, such as the weather, the stock-market, and biological and chemical processes, through understanding mathematical models of these systems. Dr. Simpson's research focuses on piecewise-smooth systems with diverse applications, see http://www.massey.ac.nz/~djwsimps.

Regards,
David Simpson
