PhD in Mathematics

Starting date: September 2025 or the earliest convenient date. Deadline for applications: April 25, 2025, 12:00 CET. A three-year PhD position in Mathematics on "Heat flow in random and homogenized materials" is available at Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (UPHF) within the context of the Chaire de Professeur Junior project "Mathematical modeling and optimisation of additive manufacturing of ceramics", funded by Agence Nationale de Recherche of Matthias Täufer. The position is for three years. It is a pure research position with no teaching duties. The salary will be the statewide sanctioned salary for PhD students (2,200€ gross per month in 2025; 2,300€ gross per month from 2026). There are generous funds for research visits, conferences and guests. The CERAMATHS laboratory is a research unit of UPHF, consisting of the department of mathematics (DMATHS) and the department of material sciences and processes (DMP), working on ceramics research. This combines the advantage of an environment suitable for pure mathematical research with organizational proximity to applied research. Candidates are expected to have: • a master's degree or equivalent in Mathematics (defense by Fall 2025), • a background in analysis, mathematical Physics or probability theory, • eagerness to quickly engage with a new topic, • willingness to collaborate with both theorists and applied researchers. Knowledge in Anderson localization, homogenization or percolation is a plus but not required. Profficiency in French is not necessary but taking up language classes upon arrival as ofered by UPHF is strongly encouraged. Applications, including a CV, a letter of motivation, and the contact details of two referees willing to provide recommendation letters, should be sent as a single PDF file to matthias.taufer@uphf.fr. For any questions, applicants are encouraged to contact Matthias Täufer at the above email address.
