KU Leuven research groups in pure mathematics are calling for applications for PhD positions in pure mathematics.
Financed by the long-term Methusalem funding, the KU Leuven research groups in pure mathematics collaborate within the research project “Classification, symmetries, and singularities at the frontiers of algebra, analysis, and geometry,” encompassing the expertise of the different research groups involved and focusing on some of the most challenging problems in algebra, analysis, and geometry. In this large-scale research project, several PhD students and postdocs are employed.
They are looking for motivated PhD students in the following areas of pure mathematics.
- Algebraic and arithmetic geometry
- Random matrices, complex analysis
- Differential geometry
- Functional analysis and operator algebras
- Group theory and Lie algebras
Special attention will be given to applicants motivated to build bridges between two or more of these areas. All PhD students will have a limited amount of teaching duties. KU Leuven strive to improve the gender balance and diversity in the pure mathematics research groups and encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply.
