PhD studentship


A PhD studentship in mathematics will shortly become available in the School of Mathematical Sciences at University College Dublin for up to four years to work under the supervision of Dr Helena Šmigoc on a project Positivity in Matrix Theory. The project addresses one of the most intriguing and challenging mathematical topics in the theory of positive operators: spectral properties of nonnegative matrices.


Candidate Profile


The successful applicant should have a B.S. or masters degree in pure or applied mathematics with strong background in linear and abstract algebra, functional analysis and combinatorics. Computational skills and experience writing mathematical text are desirable.


Stipend


The fellowship includes an annual stipend of e18,000 (tax free) and payment of annual tuition fees, as well as funding for international research visits and attendance at international conferences.


How to apply


Applications should include a CV, unofficial transcripts of undergraduate grades, a short statement (no more than 200 words) of mathematical interests, and the names and contact details of two academic references. Application materials should be sent as e-mail attachments in PDF format.


Enquiries and applications should be made to Dr Helena Šmigoc:
