(Belgium), there is a vacancy for a 4 year PhD-position within the project
entitled "A spectral and geometric approach to edge-regular graphs with
regular cliques". This PhD position is jointly supervised by Bart De Bruyn (
https://cage.ugent.be/~bdb/) and Aida Abiad (https://aidaabiad.win.tue.nl/).
The vacancy will remain open until the position is filled. The ideal
starting date would be September or October 2024.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project seeks to investigate structural, spectral and geometric
properties of a certain graph classes, like Neumaier graphs, Deza graphs or
more generally, edge-regular graphs. In this project we will tackle this
goal by using spectral methods and combining them with tools from other
fields like combinatorial optimization and finite geometry.
The successful candidate for this PhD position will work under the
supervision of Bart de Bruyn and Aida Abiad in the a dynamic group in
geometry and discrete mathematics (https://geometry.ugent.be/) of the
Department of Mathematics: Algebra and Geometry at Ghent University. Your
responsibilities include to perform scientific research on the topic of the
above-mentioned project and to publish your results at international
conferences and in international journals. For a small percentage of your
time, you will be asked to assist with educational tasks at Ghent
University (course support).
JOB REQUIREMENTS
- You have a bachelor and master degree in Mathematics.
- You have a strong background in Graph Theory, Finite Geometry,
Combinatorics.
- You are enthusiastic about programming, preferably in Sage/Python.
- You have good communication skills.
- You are creative, ambitious, as well as self-motivated, proactive, and
goal-oriented.
- You have a good command of the English language.
FURTHER INFORMATION
