• Description
• Associated Laboratories

The PhD Track Mathematics is a 5 year-program at Institut Polytechnique de Paris opened to excellent students having completed their Bachelor in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics with highest honors. This five-year PhD Track is intended to train future high-level researchers in scientific and mathematical disciplines. 

It starts with a two-year period with advanced applied mathematics courses in the chosen field. Students also participate in research projects carried out by IP Paris Laboratories involved in the Track and attend seminars on specialized research topics. Supervised by experienced researchers at the forefront of research, they thus benefit from first-class research experience. At the end of the second year, the students who meet the academic requirements receive a Master Degree. Those who have achieved outstanding results and identified a thesis subject and a supervisor in one of the involved Labs are allowed to start a three-year PhD program.

Students are offered two pathways:

The goal of this program is to provide advanced training in mathematical modeling in economics, finance and actuarial science at the highest international level, with a strong emphasis on advanced quantitative methods for both theoretical and empirical analyses. Specific application domains include stochastic modeling for sustainable finance and energy finance, including renewable energy production. 

This pathway offers a wide choice of courses in all fields of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics and Research Internships. It is also possible to combine these disciplinary courses with relevant courses in other disciplines (like in Physics, Mechanics, Computer Science or Biology for example). 

• Bring excellent Bachelor students in mathematics and applied mathematics to the realization of a high level PhD in 5 years at Institut Polytechnique de Paris
• Develop a coherent training program, based on solid scientific bases
• Specialize in a variety of sub-areas of applied mathematics, to be chosen among the rich offer of IP Paris (second year).
• Integrate into the world of research by spending time within the research Labs, conducting a research project under the supervision of a faculty member, writing a research report (second year) and preparing manuscripts for publication in international peer-reviewed journals (PhD years).

The five-year curriculum of the PhD track trains students in cutting-edge research for them to pursue international careers in prestigious universities or leading companies in their domain. 

Every year, the program of every student has to be discussed and validated by his/her tutor, who is a member of the IP Paris faculty. According to the student’s specialization wishes, the course program will be individualized as much as possible.

This pathway starts with a two-year period with advanced courses on mathematical finance, financial econometrics, advanced times series,  actuarial sciences and green and sustainable finance. Students also participate in research projects carried out by IP Paris Laboratories involved in the Track and attend seminars on specialized research topics. Supervised by experienced scientists at the forefront of research in these domains, they thus benefit from first-class research experience. At the end of the second year, the students who meet the academic requirements receive a Master Degree. Those who have achieved outstanding results and identified a thesis subject and a supervisor in one of the involved Labs are allowed to start a three-year PhD program.

The first year of the PhD Track is based on the Master 1, Parcours Jacques Hadamard , with a large choice of courses, both in Fundamental and Applied Mathematics.

The second year of the PhD Track is mainly based on the Master 2 program Mathematics and Applications proposed by IP Paris and Partner Institutions (with a large choice of Mathematical Specializations, like for example Algebra, Analysis and Geometry – Analysis, Modeling and Simulation – Mathematics, Vision and Machine Learning – Probability and Statistics, etc.).

During these two years, other Educational Units are also proposed: French (for non French native speakers), English, Research Seminars (at IHES), for example. 

In the first and second years, it is also possible to follow courses from other Departments at Institut Polytechnique de Paris (Physics, Mechanics, Computer Science or Biology) and from the Master 1,2 of Paris-Saclay Mathematics  Department.

PhD position in Mathematics of Spatial Networks - published June 2024

The aim of this fully funded PhD position is to develop the mathematical theory of spatial networks, and to explain why these networks exhibit specific emergent properties on a macro scale. Unlike conventional graphs, spatial networks exist within an embedding space, allowing us to consider well-defined scaling limits and to “zoom out,” viewing them as continua. Leveraging on the expertise of the network group in Utrecht, you will establish a framework for these limits and apply them to partial differential equations that arise. As such you will attempt to bridge the local topological constraints of networks with their global behaviour.

Keywords:  graphs, analysis, probability, partial differential equations

Apply before July 8. More information at: https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-position-in-mathematics-of-spatial-networks

When deploying AI, the real world is often different from simulations. To make AI more rigorous, we are looking for two PhD researchers to work on novel methods for verifying when AI adaptation is necessary, and for resolving violations in a human-interpretable way. You will conduct theoretical and empirical research at the intersection of logic, optimization, and machine learning for control, monitoring, and interpretability. Both PhD projects are inspired by real-world deployment of AI, with one leaning towards advancing theory and the other to be done in close collaboration with domain experts from the Netherlands Railways (NS), leading to significant scientific as well as practical impact.

You will be part of the Algorithmics Group in the Department of Software Technology of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. You will work in a dynamic and diverse environment of other PhD and postdoc researchers excited about making theoretical and algorithmic contributions in the field of intelligent decision making. You will be supervised by Dr. Anna Lukina (https://annalukina.com/) and Prof.Dr. Matthijs Spaan (https://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/mtjspaan/) or Prof.Dr. Mathijs de Weerdt (http://www.alg.ewi.tudelft.nl/weerdt/), depending on the project.

To be the successful candidate, you should:

• ·       have a Master’s degree in mathematics or computer science,
• ·        have firm foundations in mathematics/logic/formal methods as well as algorithm design, optimization, and implementation,
• ·        experience in visualization/illustration/design is a plus,

School of Science

Mathematical sciences, ph.d in mathematics.

Exploring New Theories at the Forefront of Mathematics and its Applications

Doctoral studies form our core graduate program.  The faculty in the department excel in numerous areas of applied mathematics and are well versed in many related disciplinary fields, thus they are highly qualified to train graduate students and mentor them in producing high-quality research and dissertations at the intersection of mathematics and the sciences or engineering.  Our Ph.D. training opens doors to research careers in academia, government laboratories, and industry and our department has a strong record of placing Ph.D. students in prestigious postdoctoral positions at top-tier universities and labs, and in industrial positions.

Students working for the doctorate must demonstrate high achievement both in scholarship and in independent research. All programs must follow the general rules of the Office of Graduate Education .

Program of Study

The Ph.D. degree results from following a program of study in mathematics or in applied mathematics.

Requirements

Students working for the doctorate must demonstrate high achievement both in scholarship and in independent research. All programs must follow the general rules of the Office or Graduate Education .

The student’s program of study must include:

• At least six, 4-credit (nonthesis) graduate mathematics courses (i.e., those with numbers MATH 6XXX or MATP 6XXX).
• At least one 3- or 4-credit course at the graduate (6000) level outside the department (i.e., not coded MATH or MATP and not cross-listed with any department course), selected in consultation with the math adviser.
• All doctoral students must pass a written preliminary exam as well as an oral qualifying examination and complete an oral candidacy presentation.

In addition, the course MATH 6591 Research in Mathematics is strongly suggested. Any deviations from these requirements must have the approval of the Department’s Graduate Committee.

The program catalog can be found here .

Resources frequently used by graduate students in Mathematics can be found here .

Program Outcome

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to:

• Demonstrate mastery of graduate-level courses covering a range of topics, including mathematical analysis, mathematical methods and modeling, computational mathematics, and operations research.
• Demonstrate mastery of graduate-level courses in at least one area outside of mathematics.
• Conduct high-quality original research on a topic in mathematics or applied mathematics with results suitable for journal publications and technical presentations.
• Read and interpret research level articles in mathematics and develop new mathematical concepts.
• Develop mathematical formulation and solution of scientific problems from a range of disciplines.
• Communicate sophisticated mathematical ideas and concepts concisely and effectively in both oral and written form.

Financial Aid

There are several potential ways that a Math Sciences graduate student can get financial support while enrolled at RPI. The most common methods are:

Fellowships

There are many opportunities for students to obtain fellowships to support their graduate studies.  These fellowships can come from inside or outside the department or the Institute.  For example, recent fellowships have been available from the Department of Education, and there are competitive fellowships available from the National Science Foundation. The specifics of fellowships vary from year to year, and the  Graduate Student Coordinator has information on available fellowships and application procedures.  Your academic advisor in the department is another good source of information about fellowships. You should be sure to consider that the Math Sciences Department has guidelines for continuation of support for doctoral students. Graduate students who receive full support from the Department should plan to complete their doctoral programs within four or five years. Students can expect that their support will continue through this period, provided that they continue to make satisfactory progress toward their degree and they continue to perform well in their teaching assignments. "Satisfactory progress" means completing courses, required examinations (preliminary, qualifying, and candidacy), selecting a research area, and making progress toward completing a thesis. If a student requires support beyond the fifth year, each situation will be considered individually.

Teaching Assistantship

Teaching Assistant (TA) assignments vary significantly throughout Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In the Department of Mathematical Sciences, TA-ships are typically one-year appointments that cannot be extended for more than two years. They tend to be of two types. TA-ships can take the form of independent classroom teaching (often called recitations), which may include small lectures, problem solving, computer labs, grading, office hours, etc. The TA works with a TA Supervisor, who is the faculty member teaching the course. The vast majority of TA-ships are of this form. A few teaching assistantships take the form of grading and office hours only. All TA’s are required to participate in RPI’s TA Training Program as well as the Department’s TA Orientation prior to their first semester of teaching. In addition, all TA’s must attend the TA Seminar before or during their first semester of teaching at RPI. A graduate student, the Math Sciences Department Master TA, typically teaches this one-credit course (graded as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory). The topics of this course vary according to the needs of the participants. In the past they have included: Maple, Grading, Laptops, Composing Quizzes, Campus Resources, Academic Honesty, Proctoring Exams, Extra Help, Office Hours, Latex, Making a Syllabus, etc.  In addition, each TA has their class visited and feedback is provided.

Research Assistantship

Many faculty in the Math Sciences Department have research funding that can be used to support graduate students who are interested in doing research in their field. The Research Assistantships (RA’s) do not typically have any teaching component. This allows a graduate student to have more time to work on Master’s or Ph. D. research. This is a topic you may want to talk to your advisor about.
