The German–Korean International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2235 Searching for the regular in the irregular:
Analysis of singular and random systems funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), currently offers several PhD positions at Bielefeld University.

The IRTG is a joint research program established by the Faculty of Mathematics at Bielefeld University, Germany, and the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Seoul National University, South Korea. In a truly international and competitive environment, doctoral students study singular and random systems.
The IRTG concentrates on advanced techniques from the mathematical field of analysis including geometric, stochastic and numerical analysis together with latest developments in neighboring fields such as mathematical physics and probability theory. The focus is on the mathematical analysis of problems which generically exhibit singular features or randomness. The topics include stochastic dynamics, stochastic partial differential equations, machine learning, nonlinear wave equations, integrodifferential equations, random matrices, generalized Dirichlet forms, analysis on manifolds and fractal metric spaces.

• Research within a PhD project in one of the research areas of the IRTG
• Successful participation in the structured course program
• Research during a six-months research stay at Seoul National University
• Reports about the research progress

• an excellent Master degree (or a substantive equivalent degree) in Mathematics, Mathematical Physics or a neighboring field
• proficiency in English (written and spoken)
• good communication skills

• start as soon as possible, at the latest by 01.04.2023
• salary according to Remuneration level 13 TV-L
• fixed-term (3 years)
