PHD GRANT: NUMERICAL METHODS AND MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR WAVES 
 
Application date: April 12,  2007

A PhD grant is available at Department of Mathematical Sciences at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).   The grant, which is for three years, is funded by the Research Council of Norway. The grant period may be extended to four years in exchange for teaching duties.

The PhD project focuses on mathematical models for nonlinear waves. Depending on the background of the successful applicant, the focus will be on either of mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, or numerical simulation of partial differential equations for nonlinear wave phenomena. The PhD candidate will participate in the activities of the WaveMaker project which has partners from the University of Oslo, the University of Bergen, and NTNU.

The applicants must have an MSc degree or equivalent, and interest in applied mathematics and numerical analysis. Candidates that complete an MSc degree in 2007 are also encouraged to apply.

The objective of the grant is to obtain a PhD degree, hence the successful applicant must be enrolled as a PhD candidate at NTNU.
