The vacancies are within the research consortium POEMA (Polynomial Optimization, Efficiency through Moments and Algebra).
POEMA is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (2019-2022), which offers 15 PhD positions within the full consortium, including two at CWI. Its goal is to train scientists at the interplay of algebra, geometry and computer science for polynomial optimization problems and to foster scientific and technological advances, stimulating interdisciplinary and intersectoriality knowledge exchange between algebraists, geometers, computer scientists and industrial actors facing real-life optimization problems.
To be eligible for a PhD position at CWI within the POEMA consortium, the applicant should fulfill the following conditions:
- Have — at the date of recruitment — a Master’s degree, preferably in Mathematics (or Computer Science or Engineering, assuming an excellent mathematical curriculum). • Have — at the date of recruitment — less than 4 years of a research career, and not have a doctoral degree. The 4 years are measured from the date when the applicant obtained the degree which would formally entitle him/her to embark on a PhD, either in the country where the degree was obtained or in the country where the PhD is provided.
- Trans-national mobility: The applicant — at the date of recruitment — should not have resided in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to recruitment, and not have carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc.) in that country. For refugees under the Geneva Convention (1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol), the refugee procedure (i.e. before refugee status is conferred) will not be counted as ‘period of residence/activity in the country of the beneficiary’.
- Be able to communicate fluently in English (speaking and writing).
