Field of Research
Subjects Mathematics Description The Department of Mathematics in The University of Göttingen, Germany, pursues cutting-edge research in mathematics including excellent and manifold opportunities for pursuing doctoral studies. PhD Students are integrated into the international and inspiring environment of the department. The spectrum of possible PhD research topics ranges from pure over applied mathematics to mathematical statistics. PhD projects may also be interdisciplinary, with close connections to other disciplines, such as mathematical physics or mathematical foundations of data science.
The PhD programme in Mathematical Sciences focuses on high-level research in mathematics. It features intensive training and cutting-edge research projects in pure and applied mathematics, emphasising independent research on the part of the students. A list of research areas is available here: - https: // www. math.uni-goettingen.de/forschung/indexen.html - https: // www. uni-goettingen.de/en/607643.html - https: // www. uni-goettingen.de/en/628437.html
Applicants are required to include in their letter of motivation the area of research where they would like to pursue their doctoral studies.
As part of its structured doctoral programme, the Department of Mathematics provides training in the core competences of research methods, content-related expertise and interdisciplinary research skills; furthermore, it places the emphasis on competences which give its doctoral candidates a competitive edge across research areas and occupational fields as well as those that enhance their ability to assume executive functions.
Eligibility criteria
The PhD programme in Mathematical Sciences is designed as a structured academic programme for graduates whose academic profile and outstanding interdisciplinary research proposals set them apart from the rest. Consequently, selection is based solely on the applicants' qualification.
The successful candidates are expected to hold an excellent master's degree that formally qualifies them for doctoral studies. In their previous studies, candidates are expected to have acquired relevant discipline-specific and methodological knowledge in their field of expertise that enables them to successfully complete their research project. Beyond the formal qualifications, seeing a research project through from beginning to end requires a great deal of dedication, the ability to deal with conflicts, self- management skills, the ability to think and act strategically, self- motivation, well-developed communication skills and the ability to work together with others.
