PhD Research Fellowship in Mathematics and Fluid Mechanics

A PhD Research Fellowship in Mathematics and Fluid Mechanics is available at the Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo, starting no later than October 1st, 2026. The position is for three years with the possibility of a fourth year that includes 25% of other career-promoting work, such as teaching, supervision, or research assistance, depending on the applicant's qualifications and the department's needs. The successful applicant will research ocean wave dynamics, focusing on predicting extreme events like freak waves, frequency downshift, and transverse modulations using stochastic mathematical models and computational methods for uncertainty quantification. Collaboration with the Hydrodynamical Laboratory for experimental data validation is expected.
