2 PhD positions Patterns in random media

Job description

Teaser Text The Mathematical Institute is looking for two PhD candidates to join the project Patterns in Random Media under the supervision of Hermen Jan Hupkes What you will do: The PhD positions focus on the dynamical behaviour of systems described by stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) or lattice differential equations (LDEs) on grids with randomized structures. In particular, we will consider the impact of randomness on patterns such as travelling waves, spirals and spots. The precise topic of your thesis can be tuned to your interests and background; see https://pub.math.leidenuniv.nl/~hupkeshj for a flavour of past research strongly related to this position. You will be joining an active and growing research team analyzing the dynamics of patterns from a wide variety of angles, within the larger group in Leiden specialising in ‘Analysis and Dynamical Systems’. You will be able to participate in a range of local and national seminars and the position includes funding to present your work at international conferences and workshops. Where you will work: Research at our faculty: The Faculty of Science is a world-class faculty where staff and students work together i...
