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 calender year.
Utrecht is a lively, picturesque city in the center of the
Netherlands, with excellent train connections to the rest of the
country and to Europe (train trips to Amsterdam take 20 minutes and 25
minutes to Schiphol Airport).
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.
