Duties
The education at the research school is aimed at students with a strong interest in mathematics, who also are interested in active participation in problems from an applied subject/science. The goal is a PhD in mathematics with a broad applied/interdisciplinary profile.
The subject area of the thesis will be one of the four that exist within the department of mathematics: applied mathematics, mathematical statistics, optimization, or scientific computing. The project will be chosen by the student in cooperation with the research supervisors of the department.

The duties involve graduate studies, and tutorial teaching at 20 percent of the working hours.

Qualifications
Applicants should have studied a substantial component of mathematics for their first degree. Students will be expected to have demonstrated the potential for mathematical studies in graduate education and be highly motivated.
Linköping University requires the knowledge and experience of both women and men. The university therefore welcomes applications from both women and men to all kinds of positions. For this position priority will be given to female applicants if the qualifications are equal.
Appointment time
The appointment is given for one year at a time, and will be renewed yearly subject to successful performance of duties. The programme corresponds to four years full-time studies.
