Doutorado em Matemática nas Ciências Naturais, Sociais e da Vida

• 8 scholarships;

• 1 scholarship funded by Leonardo S.p.A. for the following research project: “Development of methods to evaluate the capabilities of quantum hardware of the Quantum Annealer type in solving combinatorial optimization problems in various areas of interest for Leonardo; examples of possible areas of investigation are linear algebra, logistics, computer vision”.

  Within the Ph.D. course in Mathematics in Natural, Social, and Life Sciences a priority has been established on mathematical modeling, both towards the traditional areas of application, such as Physics or Engineering, and towards emerging issues in Biology and Social Sciences.

  An emphasis will be given also to partial differential equations and their applications, in particular, mathematical models in fluid dynamics and in the study of nonlinear waves; statistical mechanics, hydrodynamic limits and derivation of effective equations in classical and quantum mechanics, phase transitions, disordered systems; methods of statistical physics in data science; numerical linear algebra and its applications, numerical methods for differential equations, high-performance computational techniques; network analysis problems; continuum mechanics, fluid dynamics models for cardiovascular circulation, computational fluid dynamics; mathematical models in biology and social sciences.

  Within the Ph.D. Program in Mathematics in Natural, Social, and Life Sciences, it is possible to apply both for the Project funded by Leonardo S.p.A and for GSSI scholarships, by submitting two different applications.

Application

Applicants must fill out the online application from our website, where it is possible to find all the necessary information for the submissions, and attach the required documents by June 01, 2022, at 3 pm (Italian time zone). No other application method will be accepted.

The GSSI – Gran Sasso Science Institute is an international Ph.D. school and a center for research and higher education in the areas of Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Social Sciences. It was founded in 2012 in L’Aquila (Italy) as a Center for Advanced Studies of the INFN – National Institute for Nuclear Physics and then established in March 2016 as a School of Advanced Studies providing post-graduate education. Through day-to-day collaboration and interaction, researchers and students have the opportunity to build a sound knowledge of the research methods and to experiment with contamination of interests, innovative approaches, and multicultural exchanges in all the GSSI activities. In addressing the complexity of today’s world, we are committed to removing all barriers between the GSSI areas of study and research, where interdisciplinarity and cross-fertilization underlie everything we do. Among our goals are the dissemination of scientific results to society and the promotion of cultural events for the general public, citizens, and schools.

The GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute offers 36 Ph.D. fellowships for the academic year 2022/23 and invites applications for fellowships for the Ph.D. Programs in “Astroparticle Physics” (9), “Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences” (9), “Computer Science” (9), and “Regional Science & Economic Geography”(9).

The official language for all Ph.D. courses is English .

The fellowships are awarded for 4 years and their yearly amount is € 16.159,91 gross. All Ph.D. students have free accommodation at the GSSI facilities and use of the canteen.
