Dear colleagues, would you kindly forward the announcement below to (strong and motivated) master students interested in a PhD thesis in probability theory/statistical mechanics in Vienna? Thanks in advance Fabio Toninelli A PhD position in Probability and Statistical Mechanics is open at the Technical University of Vienna.  Research topics include: random interface models, stochastic interface growth, Markov dynamics of spin systems and dimer models. The position is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) via the recently funded project "Random Surfaces: growth, fluctuations and universality". The research program will be carried out under the supervision of the principal investigator, Prof. Fabio Toninelli. The PhD program offers the opportunity to interact with the international research partners of the FWF project and, more broadly, with the Vienna probability and mathematical physics communities. DEADLINE: March 4, 2022 Requirements: Master degree (obtained or to be obtained soon) Salary: 2294 euros/month brutto, 14x per year (around 23718 euros/year netto). Health and pension benefits are included.
