PhD student in mathematics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Qualifications
The applicant should have knowledge within mathematical analysis, good analytical problem solving skills and a good capacity to work independently. Meriting is also knowledge within optimization and programming. Knowledge within physics, specially optics, is a merit but not a requirement.

Other meriting capacities is independence, ability to take initiative, cooperative skills and perceverance.

Job assignments
The research will focus on methods for solving ill posed inverse problems, with special focus on coherent X-ray imaging methods in two and three dimensions. For example the phase retrieval problem (where the amplitude of the Fourier transform of an object is known, and the object should be reconstructed from this information and additional restrictions), algorithms for ptychography or methods for inverting the exponential Radon transform. The main research task is mathematical analysis of methods (and development of new methods), but consists also in efficient implementation and evaluation of the same. The implementation is targeted towards the new Max IV synchrotron facility. The position covers four years of postgraduate studies (research and course work) including up to 20 % teaching mathematics.

Eligibility
The basic requirements for admission to postgraduate studies are: a degree at advanced (MSc) level, completed courses equivalent to at least 240 credits, of which 60 must be at advanced (MSc) level, or the equivalent knowledge or qualifications obtained in some other way, in Sweden or in another country.

The special requirements for admission to postgraduate studies in mathematics are completed courses in mathematics equivalent to at least 120 credits, of which 50 must be at advanced (MSc) level. The courses at basic and advanced level should include a degree project corresponding to at least 30 credits. Special eligibility may be obtained through equivalent studies; this will be assessed in each case.

Basis of assessment
Of major importance is knowledge and abilities relevant för the dissertation work and the subject. In addition we assess the ability to work independently and the other competence fields mentioned under qualifications.

The employment of doctoral students is regulated in the Swedish Code of Statues 1998:80. Only those who are or have been admitted to PhD-studies may be appointed to doctoral studentships. When an appointment to a doctoral studentship is made, the ability of the student to benefit from PhD-studies shall primarily be taken into account. In addition to devoting themselves to their studies, those appointed to doctoral studentships may be required to work with educational tasks, research and administration, in accordance with specific regulations in the ordinance.

Type of employment
Limit of tenure, four years according to HF 5 kap 7§.

Additional information
When applying you should upload a current CV, a scanned copy of your academic transcript and 2-3 letters of recommendation. Additional supporting documents such as a description of yourself and you scientific interests/goals (max ½ page), could also be submitted, but is not required.
