University of Trento in Italy invites applications for the PhD Progamme in Mathematics for 2018/2019 academic session. The University of Trento in Italy opens the first call for position for the 34th Cycle (Academic Year 2017/2018) of the Phd Programme in “Mathematics” jointly run with the University of Verona.
The positions in this first call are related to the appropriate funds allocated within the Departments of Excellence (Italian Law 232/2016), for which the Department of Mathematics of the University of Trento was a beneficiary for the development of the project approved. All positions are on a specific topic (as reported below), defined in the approved project, and are therefore conditional on execution of that specific research topic for which certain skills, to be verified on the selection webpage, are required.
The subsequent publication of a second call for applications with positions covered by university scholarships and other funding institutions is envisaged. The registrations for the second call will also be accepted by the participants to this first call, but those who will be winners both in the selection of the first call and in that of the second, will be automatically removed from the second constituting the winnings on the first call considered the first choice for the candidate and therefore binding.
A public selection must be passed in order to be admitted to the Doctoral Programmes. Calls for Selection are published every year between March and July. For details about examination’s schedule please refer to the webpages of the selected Doctoral School/Programme.
