  • 3 Ph.D. positions (salary scale TV-L E 13, 75%; including social benefits)
for a three-year structured Ph.D. program. We offer a broad range of cutting edge research. For details on the research  training group see https://sites.google.com/site/rtg2131/home and for details on possible projects see https://wiki.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/RTG2131/images/a/a3/Promotionsbeschreibungen_alle_ohne_winter.pdf. No German language skills are required. All working groups switch between German and English.

The RTG is based at the faculties of mathematics at the three universities of Bochum, Dortmund and Duisburg/Essen, Germany.

Candidates should have obtained (or be about to obtain) a M.Sc. degree (or equivalent) in mathematics or closely related fields with excellent results. The topic of the master thesis plays a minor role as long as the candidate has suitable knowledge in probability/statistics.
