Mathematics PhD positions in the Netherlands

PhD Position in Mathematics at the University of São Paulo, Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Computation
Field: Networks and Dynamical Systems - published November 2024

Dr. Eddie Nijholt at the University of São Paulo invites applications for a fully funded PhD position in Mathematics as part of his FAPESP funded project on Hidden Symmetries for Networks of Dynamical Systems. The details and requirements are described below. The successful candidate will receive full financial support, including return travel from their home country to Brazil. The position is for four years.

PhD Research Project
Title: Classifying Generic Bifurcation Scenarios for Networks  
Location: São Carlos – São Paulo State, Brazil  
Supervisor: Dr. Eddie Nijholt  

Project Description and Requirements:
Networks encode the structure of individual units (nodes) and the dependencies between them. A central open question in the study of network dynamical systems concerns how this interaction structure shapes the resulting dynamical behavior, particularly bifurcation scenarios.  
The PhD candidate will address these challenges by treating network structure and associated geometric features as exotic forms of symmetry. The project involves developing reduction techniques that respect these symmetries. A specific initial focus will be on deriving branching lemmas for network systems. The goal is to demonstrate that certain geometrical features, such as one-dimensional invariant spaces enforced by symmetry, lead to solution branches. Since many interaction structures exhibit forms of hidden symmetry, the project aims to develop branching lemmas and other bifurcation analysis tools tailored to the network setting.
 
The successful applicant must hold a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics or a related area, and possess a solid foundation in dynamical reduction techniques such as normal form theory, Lyapunov-Smith reduction, and center manifold reduction.

Application Process  
Interested candidates should submit the following documents:  
1. A detailed CV.  
2. Two letters of recommendation from university professors.  

Applications must be submitted via email to eddie.nijholt@gmail.com by January 20th, 2025 (Brazilian standard time). For additional information or inquiries, please contact the same email address.

PhD position available with Robbin Bastiaansen at the Mathematical Institute and Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht - published June 2024

PhD position in Mathematics of Spatial Networks - published June 2024

The aim of this fully funded PhD position is to develop the mathematical theory of spatial networks, and to explain why these networks exhibit specific emergent properties on a macro scale. Unlike conventional graphs, spatial networks exist within an embedding space, allowing us to consider well-defined scaling limits and to “zoom out,” viewing them as continua. Leveraging on the expertise of the network group in Utrecht, you will establish a framework for these limits and apply them to partial differential equations that arise. As such you will attempt to bridge the local topological constraints of networks with their global behaviour.

Keywords:  graphs, analysis, probability, partial differential equations

Apply before July 8. More information at: https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-position-in-mathematics-of-spatial-networks

PhD positions on Rigorous Algorithms for AI in Automation at TU Delft - published March 2024.

Do you want to make an impact in algorithms that formally guarantee reliability of AI in deployment?      

When deploying AI, the real world is often different from simulations. To make AI more rigorous, we are looking for two PhD researchers to work on novel methods for verifying when AI adaptation is necessary, and for resolving violations in a human-interpretable way. You will conduct theoretical and empirical research at the intersection of logic, optimization, and machine learning for control, monitoring, and interpretability. Both PhD projects are inspired by real-world deployment of AI, with one leaning towards advancing theory and the other to be done in close collaboration with domain experts from the Netherlands Railways (NS), leading to significant scientific as well as practical impact.

You will be part of the Algorithmics Group in the Department of Software Technology of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. You will work in a dynamic and diverse environment of other PhD and postdoc researchers excited about making theoretical and algorithmic contributions in the field of intelligent decision making. You will be supervised by Dr. Anna Lukina (https://annalukina.com/) and Prof.Dr. Matthijs Spaan (https://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/mtjspaan/) or Prof.Dr. Mathijs de Weerdt (http://www.alg.ewi.tudelft.nl/weerdt/), depending on the project.

To be the successful candidate, you should:

• ·      have a Master’s degree in mathematics or computer science,
• ·       have firm foundations in mathematics/logic/formal methods as well as algorithm design, optimization, and implementation,
• ·       experience in visualization/illustration/design is a plus,
• ·       have strong programming skills,
• ·       be proficient in written and spoken English.

Are you interested in this vacancy? Please apply before March 29, 2024: https://www.tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/werken-bij-tu-delft/vacatures/details?jobId=16571&jobTitle=PhD%20Position%20Rigorous%20Algorithms%20for%20AI%20in%20Automation%20
