3 PhD positions in Scientific Computing - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The Department of Information Technology conducts research and education in a spectrum of areas within Computer Science and Information Technology. The department is organized in five divisions, with the Division of Scientific Computing being one of them. The research at the division of Scientific Computing has a broad scope, including numerical analysis, applied scientific computing, high-performance computing, and applied cloud computing. The division engages in a broad range of collaborative projects in computational science and engineering (CSE), industrial applications and CSE software development. Application fields include fluid flow, electromagnetics, acoustics, geology, systems biology, quantum mechanics, financial mathematics, and genetics. The Division has an extensive international and national research network.

The graduate education program in scientific computing has so far resulted in over 80 PhDs. Many of them have continued a career as leading researchers in Scientific Computing working both in academia and industry.

The projects: In this round of applications we are seeking PhD candidates for three specific projects. For further information please contact one or more of the contact persons given in the descriptions of proposed projects in the link below. You may also contact the Head of division Emanuel Rubensson.
