[DMANET] Up to 3 fully funded PhD positions in Mathematics at the Lie-Størmer Center, UiT Tromsø (Norway)

Dear colleagues, The Lie-Størmer Center (LSC) at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway invites applications for up to 3 fully funded PhD positions in mathematics, based in Tromsø. The LSC explores the interface of computational and pure mathematics, addressing foundational challenges relevant to the modern information society and to geometric dynamical control in engineering. The center connects the mathematics departments in Tromsø and Bergen. Candidates should indicate 1–2 of the following thematic areas they are interested in and qualified for (the ability to contribute to more than one area is a plus): 1. Lie Theory – Analysis and Geometry of Nonholonomic Systems: sub-Riemannian and Cartan geometry, vector distributions, supergeometry. 2. Polynomials, Ideals and Algebra: monomial and polynomial ideals, toric and tropical varieties, connections to combinatorics. 3. Magnus Expansions and Signatures in Data Science and Engineering: signatures of curves and surfaces (rough paths), Magnus expansion, Hopf algebras, applications. 4. Algebra, Geometry and Topology for Complex Data Analysis: algebraic methods in data analysis, optimization, topological data analysis, geometric deep learning. The positions are fully funded for the standard Norwegian PhD period, with a competitive salary and excellent working conditions. Tromsø, located north of the Arctic Circle, offers a vibrant international research environment and spectacular surroundings. Application deadline: 31. August 2026 Full details and the online application portal: https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/302786/up-to-3-phd-positions-in-mathematics-affiliated-to-the-lie-stoermer-center Please forward this announcement to potentially interested students.
