PhD Fellowships 2010 At Bielefeld University – Germany
Bielefeld University Offer PhD Fellowship 2010 In Germany
Detail:
n the framework of an International Graduate College (International Research Training Group, supported by DFG) we offer fellowships for a PhD program starting October 1, 2010, for up to 3 years duration.The program is organized by the Bielefeld University Mathematics Department in cooperation with the Departments of Economics and Physics, the research institutions IMW and BiBoS, and together with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing (partner institutions: IAM, AMSS, GUCAS). Doctorate degrees will be awarded by one of the three Departments of Bielefeld University.The interdisciplinary training and research program is oriented towards the study of modern methods in Stochastics and their application in Physics and Economics. A structured course program will enable students to undertake research projects without undue delay. Lectures and courses by visiting scientists, as well as the exchange program with China, will further contribute to a broad and internationally viable education.Graduates (Master level) from the aforementioned three fields with a pronounced interest in Mathematics and its interdisciplinary applications are encouraged to apply.We are aiming to increase the proportion of female researchers in the college; givenparity with respect to all other relevant criteria, female applicants will receive preferentialtreatment in the fellowship awarding decisions.Candidates with physical disabilities who fulfill the abovementioned criteria areparticularly encouraged to apply.Application:
* your completed application form (including the names and contact data two possible referees) along with
* your CV,
* copies of your diplomas and certificates,
* a sketch of your research interests, and
* possibly your written work (papers, theses, etc.),
Goals:
Random phenomena appear in many aspects of our present day world, in its scientific description and its technological and societal transformation
. Sometimes as a small perturbation, but sometimes also as a force of great impact. Hence it is not surprising that stochastics, the mathematical theory of random processes, has grown in great strides since its inception by (e.g.) Bachelier (economics), Einstein (physics) and Norbert Wiener (mathematics, information processing) in parallel with the explosion of science and technology in the past century.The IGK originated at the research center BiBoS (Bielefeld-Bonn-Stochastics) which has been an active contributor to this field of research. In the past 20 years it has hosted hundreds of scientists from allover the world. Collaboration between the two principal investigators of the proposed research training center started in this way — in 1992 jointly with S. Albeverio they were awarded a Max-Planck research prize for their joint work.The role of mathematics as a — computational but also conceptual — “toolbox” for other fields of research is apparent. However, the transfer of results, concepts and models from mathematics to other fields of research is not a one-way flow. Many domains of pure mathematical research have been motivated by questions first posed in a wide variety
Procedures:
* PhDs will be awarded by
Fakultät für Mathematik, Universität Bielefeld
Fakultät für Physik, Universität Bielefeld
Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Universität Bielefeld
* Formal prerequisites are a “Diplom” or equivalent in one of the three disciplines and a working knowledge of English.
*Applications for fellowships, with scientific CV, previous work and research interests, letters of reference, will be screened, and suitable candidates will be invited to present their previous work.
*Starting date: January1, 2006
