PhD positions - Department of Mathematics of the University of Utrecht, Topic: random graphs and percolation theory

Fully funded PhD positions are available at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Utrecht, to work on random graphs and percolation theory under the direction of Dr. Tobias Müller. The positions are funded by an NWO VIDI project on geometric random graphs and related percolation models.

The positions are for four years and offer competitive salary and benefits. They carry a modest teaching load which, in the case of foreign applicants, can be performed in English. One position is available immediately, but starting dates are negotiable as long as they are within the next calendar year.


REQUIREMENTS: Candidates should have completed a Masters degree in Mathematics or a related discipline by the time they start the position. A strong background in probability theory and discrete mathematics is advantageous, but mathematical maturity and motivation are more important.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: For full consideration, please apply on or before 9 March 2016. Reviewing of applications will commence on 9 March 2016, but we accept applications until all positions are filled.
