[DMANET] five PhD scholarships available in Berlin

The Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg)

METHODS FOR DISCRETE STRUCTURES
http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/MDS/

funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) at the three Berlin
Universities will in 2010 offer

five SCHOLARSHIPs

for Ph.D. Studies starting Oktober 15th, 2010 or later (subject to
further funding by DFG).

The scholarships are 1350 EUR (tax-free) per month - according to DFG
rules.
They are usually granted as 2-year fellowships, extendible by a third
year.

The MDS course program consists of the Monday Afternoon Colloquium
lectures, block courses, summer schools, regular predoc programs,
etc. - all this in a very lively Berlin discrete mathematics context,
which also includes the DFG Research Center MATHEON
(http://www.matheon.de).

The RTG "Methods for Discrete Structures" is also a registered unit for
the "Phase II" part of
BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL (http://www.math-berlin.de),
the joint international graduate program of the three major Berlin
universities - which has a lot to offer!
Students of the MDS program may apply to be members of the BERLIN
MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL.

Applicants for Ph.D. scholarships are expected to have a
Diploma/Master's degree or equivalent, usually
in Mathematics or Computer Science. Applications for scholarships
starting in 2010
consisting of

- letter of application
- curriculum vitae
- Diplom/masters' thesis
- proposal for possible thesis topic
- recommendation letter by thesis advisor
(to be sent directly to us)
