PhD position in Applied Mathematics and Statistics

We are looking for a doctoral student who would like to work in any of the research areas of the division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics. Our department continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all our activities. We work actively to be a parent-friendly organization.

Information about the division
At the division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics we conduct research within the theory and implementation of finite element methods, inverse wave propagation problems, stochastic partial differential equations, geometric numerical integration, optimization, biostatistics, spatial modeling, Bayesian inference, high-dimensional data, large-scale computational methods, and bioinformatics. The division is also expanding in the area of AI – Artificial Intelligence.

The following list includes a collection of possible projects that you can work in:
Marina Axelson-Fisk: AI Support for Medical Decision Making
Tobias Gebäck, Alexei Heintz and Irina Pettersson: Multiscale models for wetting dynamics in porous materials
Philip Gerle: Universal differential equations for infectious disease modelling
Erik Kristiansson: Analysis of DNA sequences using artificial intelligence
Anders Logg: High-Performance High-Quality Automated Mesh Generation for Large-Scale City Modeling and Simulation
Serik Sagitov: Critical Galton-Watson processes with overlapping generations
Aila Särkkä: Spatio-temporal modelling combined with machine learning

Feel free to contact any of the people above or other people in the division that you might be interested in working with already before submitting your application.
