Position Description
The Mathematics department at the University of Luxembourg currently has openings for up to 4 PhD positions in the following areas:
- Algebraic geometry,
- Geometry,
- Mathematical aspects of computer science, cryptography.
All positions are fully funded for up to 4 years.
Candidates should have (at the beginning of the contract but not necessarily at the time of application) a Master's degree in Mathematics or in mathematical aspects of Computer science, with excellent results.
Start in or around September 2025 ; an earlier or later starting date is possible.
The Mathematics department offers an outstanding and dynamic environment for PhD candidates, with multiple seminars, working groups, colloquia, and a doctoral school, which also gives access to multiple training opportunities, including courses on general research skills and other transferable skills.
PhD candidates have access to funding for travel to workshops, conferences or summer/winter schools.
They will be intergrated into the "Doctoral Training Unit Geometry, Representations, and Algebra via Computation and Experimentation", which profits from generous funding by FNR.
They are also expected to contribute in a limited way to the teaching and outreach activities of the department.
The following topics are indications of possible research directions.
- Post-quantum cryptography and fully-homomorphic encryption (Jean-Sébastien Coron)
- Three-dimensional conformally flat Lorentzian manifolds through experimentation (Karin Melnick)
- Representation-theoretic methods in algebraic geometry (Karin Melnick & Pieter Belmans)
