We now strengthen our prominent research by recruiting 21 postdoctoral fellows.

The research in applied mathematics at Linnaeus University is profiled towards mathematical modelling in physics, engineering and computer science as well as in the finance and in the insurance industry. Methods are primarily taken from mathematical statistics, mathematical physics, discrete mathematics and computational mathematics.

The subject of the position is Industrial Mathematics. Industrial Mathematics is part of Applied Mathematics and comprises both the development and the application of mathematical techniques that can be used in engineering disciplines and in industry. The subject includes mathematical modelling, numerical simulation as well as computational mathematics.
