Your function

The Department of Mathematics of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam welcomes applications for a fully-funded, 4-year PhD position that is part of the EU-funded BeyondTheEdge Doctoral Network. The PhD research will focus on coupled oscillator networks that give rise to higher-order phase interactions. We will consider the structure and properties of such derived higher-order interaction networks and how these relate to collective phenomena—synchronization and beyond—of the oscillator network. The position includes prospective research secondments at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil (USP). We are an inclusive, interdisciplinary group, and diversity and internationalism is at the heart of our research principles, as well as our teaching practice.



The preferred starting date is a mutually agreed date on or before October 1, .



This position is part of the project BeyondTheEdge; more information and eligibility criteria can be found on the project website BeyondTheEdge.network.
