[DMANET] Fully funded Master/PhD positions in Discrete Math at HKUST

The Department of Mathematics at the Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology (HKUST) invites applications for multiple MPhil (Master) and PhD
positions in discrete mathematics (combinatorics and/or number theory).
These positions are supported by the startup research grant of Dr. Chi Hoi
Yip (https://sites.google.com/view/kyle-chi-hoi-yip/home).

All admitted MPhil/PhD students will receive full financial support through
the HKUST Postgraduate Studentship and/or additional fellowships. The
support package includes a monthly living stipend. Program details and
funding information are available here:
https://www.math.hkust.edu.hk/pg/?menu=1

Applicants with interests in combinatorics and/or number theory are
encouraged to apply. Relevant backgrounds include (but are not limited to):

-

additive/arithmetic combinatorics
-

extremal combinatorics
-

finite fields and/or finite geometry
-

combinatorial number theory
-

analytic number theory

How to apply: Please email cyip30@gatech.edu with (i) your CV and (ii)
transcripts (unofficial is fine for initial contact). Informal inquiries
are also welcome.

Best,
Chi Hoi Yip
