Dear colleagues,

I would be grateful if you could inform interested students about this extraordinary call for applications for the PhD program in Geometry and Mathematical Physics at SISSA.

Best, Antonio Lerario Geometry and Mathematical Physics PhD coordinator SISSA

------------------ *PhD program in Geometry and Mathematical Physics (GMP) at SISSA.*

The Mathematics Area https://www.math.sissa.it at SISSA https://www.sissa.it offers a doctoral program focused on Geometry and Mathematical Physics and targeted to excellent students.

This extraordinary call has a focus on *Geometric and analytic aspects of Mathematical Physics.*

The GMP graduate program is entirely taught in English, and covers various topics of modern mathematics: algebraic geometry; real and complex differential geometry; stochastic and real algebraic geometry; non-commutative geometry; integrable structures in mathematics and physics, random matrices; special functions; nonlinear waves; geometry of strings and quantum fields; mathematical methods of quantum physics.

Students at SISSA have the possibility of studying and doing research in an international and active environment, interacting closely with professors and postdocs.

The GMP graduate program is structured as follows: during the first year, the students will complete their preparation by attending graduate courses ( here https://www.math.sissa.it/education/1/courses/current is the list of the current courses), and the remaining years are dedicated exclusively to research.

Benefits for our students include:

- mentoring programs - funding for summer schools and conferences - 12 months/year stipend) - no teaching load (some light teaching is possible, if desired) - on-site kindergarten and maternity leave contribution - contribution toward housing expenses - language courses - rich seminar activity

Trieste is an international city, with a low cost of living. Together with the ICTP, the University of Trieste, the iGAP, and the AREA Science Park, SISSA contributes to make Trieste the perfect city for graduate studies.

SISSA promotes international research and our PhD program also has co-tutelle supervisions with many european institutions.

*Deadline for applications: August 31, 2022*

Courses start on October 1st 2022.
