==================================================================
Dear Colleagues,
this is to
announce the
opening for
11 PhD Fellowships in "Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences" at Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) starting in November 2021.
The application must be submitted through the online form available at
www.gssi.it/phd/ by May 2nd, 2023 at 3pm (Italian time zone). Please find the call at
https://applications.gssi.it/applications/.
The
fellowships are awarded for 4 years and their yearly amount is € 16.159,91 gross. All
PhD students have free accommodation, free luncheon vouchers and use of the canteen.
The official language for the PhD course is English.
1 PhD Fellowship is funded under the ERC project "CARDIOTRIALS -CARDIac simulations to run in-silicO clinical TRIALS", please find further information below.
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 ofapplication, such as Physics or Engineering, and towards emerging issues in Biology and Social Sciences.
GSSI mathematics researchers are interested
in tackling many problems with complementary perspectives and methods. The area of Mathematics is characterized by four large macro-sectors:
Applied Partial Differential Equations, Stochastic Analysis, Numerical
methods and Continuum Mechanics Modeling. Within these sectors there is a
shared interest in problems related to fluid dynamics and nonlinear waves, quantum
mechanics, statistical mechanics and also its applications to data
science. Important ideas of classical analysis, probability theory,
mathematical physics and theoretical physics are used also for less
traditional applications. Numerical linear algebra and numerical
optimization help to design new models and accompanying numerical
algorithms for applications in data mining, machine learning and network
science. Continuum mechanics models, computational methods in fluid
dynamics are used not only in their traditional field at the boundary
between applied mathematics and theoretical engineering, but also in
nonconventional problems like modeling the full heart function.
Students
and researchers in Mathematics at GSSI are encouraged to interact with
other scientific communities. At GSSI, we believe that the
interdisciplinary endeavor is the most effective way to do science and
benefit society. Mathematical models are ubiquitous in physics,
engineering, information theory, social and life sciences, as they
provide a formidable framework to describe the time evolution of
deterministic, stochastic and complex systems, which is one of the main
goals at GSSI.
1 PhD fellowship funded under the ERC project “CARDIOTRIALS -CARDIac
simulations to run in-silicO clinical TRIALS”. The project aims at building a virtual model of the human heart based on the fluid-structure-electrophysiology interaction, which will be exploited to study numerically pathologies and assess the efficacy of cardiac devices, accounting for the statistical variability of the population. The project comprises the study of fluid dynamics phenomena and the application of numerical mathematics and high performance computing. The candidates willing to apply are required to work on this specific research project.
Within the Ph.D. Programme in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences, it is
possible to apply both for the CardiOTrials Project position and for GSSI scholarships, by
submitting two different applications.
