PhD Position Harmonic Analytic Methods for (Stochastic) Partial Differential Equations

This full-time PhD position in harmonic analysis is offered by the Analysis group within the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). The project will focus on developing harmonic analytic tools that are applicable to both deterministic and stochastic partial differential equations.

The project will be supervised by Emiel Lorist. The appointment is for 4 years. The starting date is flexible, with September 2026 as a guideline.

Throughout the PhD, you will be supported in learning new techniques and broadening your mathematical background. You will have the opportunity to present your work at both national and international conferences and workshops, for which travel budget is available.

The position comes with a small teaching component (at most 15% of the contract time) in English (or Dutch if you are proficient in Dutch). If desired, there is the possibility to take Dutch language courses offered by the Centre for Languages and Academic Skills of TU Delft.

Job requirements

The candidate holds (or will soon obtain) a Master's degree in Mathematics or a closely related area with a solid foundation in analysis. Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires proof of English proficiency to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses and write scientific articles and a dissertation.

TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)

Delft University of Technology is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society.

Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
