PhD Candidate: Analysis and Geometry on Manifolds
2 dagen geleden
The Department of Mathematics is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate for a research position funded by the NWO ENW-M project ‘Higher Invariants of Finite-Volume Spaces’. This project is about developing and applying new invariants of certain non-compact manifolds which have finite volume. It falls in the broad area of analysis and geometry on manifolds. There are links with index theory, Lie group theory and operator algebras.
The PhD project will be supervised by Dr Peter Hochs. We will support you throughout the PhD process to engage in research, participate in local, national and international meetings, and report on your results in scientific publications. You should ideally be available to start the PhD project between 1 September and 1 November 2024. Other starting dates are negotiable, but the earlier the better. This position has a light teaching load, of up to 10% of your working time. Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a PhD from Radboud University.
We welcome applications from candidates with an excellent academic track record and demonstrable experience in at least one of the areas mentioned above. Members from groups that are underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics disciplines are particularly encouraged to apply. Profile
You hold a Master's degree in Mathematics, or you are on track to obtain one before the start of the project. You have experience in one or more areas relevant to this position, as evidenced by courses followed and your Master's thesis. You have excellent written and oral communication skills. You are a highly motivated, enthusiastic, critical, organised, creative and proactive individual. You work well in a team as well as independently. We areThe Department of Mathematics at Radboud University (Nijmegen, the Netherlands) is part of the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics of the Faculty of Science. The department represents a broad range of areas, including pure and applied analysis, differential geometry, algebraic geometry and topology, number theory, functional analysis, mathematical physics, non-commutative geometry, special functions and applied stochastics.
The Department of Mathematics has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. There are regular research seminars, a range of specialist lectures and visitors to the department, as well as a number of informal events throughout the year. There are currently about 25 PhD candidates in the department, several of whom work in areas related to this project. This project meshes with the interests of a broader community of mathematicians in the Netherlands working in related areas, with which we regularly organise seminars and other events.

Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science (FNWI), part of Radboud University, engages in groundbreaking research and excellent education. In doing so, we push the boundaries of scientific knowledge and pass that knowledge on to the next generation.
We seek solutions to major societal challenges, such as cybercrime and climate change and work on major scientific challenges, such as those in the quantum world. At the same time, we prepare our students for careers both within and outside the scientific field.
Currently, more than 1,300 colleagues contribute to research and education, some as researchers and lecturers, others as technical and administrative support officers. The faculty has a strong international character with staff from more than 70 countries. Together, we work in an informal, accessible and welcoming environment, with attention and space for personal and professional development for all. We offer
We will give you a temporary employment contract (1.0 FTE) of 1,5 years, after which your performance will be evaluated.
