  • Core in Applied Mathematics: Fourier Analysis, Algebraic Geometry and Singularity Theory, Discrete Mathematics, Inverse Problems, PDEs, Mathematical Physics, Dynamical Systems, Quantum Mechanics, etc.
  • Computational Mathematics: Computer Simulation, CFD, Mathematical Modelling, HPC, Numerical Analysis, Mathematical Neuroscience, etc.
  • Applications of Mathematics: Applied Statistics, Energy, Biosciences, Advanced manufacturing, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Biomathematics, etc.
• 1 PhD position with regard to "Singularities in Algebraic Geometry and their interactions with Topology, Metric Geometry and Simplistic Geometry" research project led by Javier Fernández de Bobadilla (PID2020-114750GB-C33).

The programme is open to students of any nationality. Contracts will be 4-year long and those PhD Students that defend their thesis before that period will be issued a 1-year postdoctoral contract.
