The Department of Mathematics at the University of Genova offers a rigorous graduate program, leading to the Ph.D. degree, that combines study and research opportunities. The Ph.D. program in Mathematics is part of the Ph.D. School in Sciences and Technologies for Information and Knowledge, which includes 9 Ph.D. programs in the School of Science and in the School of Engineering. Research areas. The main active research areas at our Department of Mathematics are: harmonic analysis, control theory and optimization, elliptic PDE's; commutative algebra, computer algebra, complex algebraic geometry, theory of motives and arithmetical geometry; analytic number theory; geometric methods in physics, continuum mechanics; probability; inverse problems and applications in medical imaging and astrophysics. Application. Students have to apply by filling in the application form soon available at the "Dottorati di ricerca" web page of the University of Genova. To be considered for admission, a student must be in possession of the Italian laurea ("laurea specialistica" as per new rules) in a scientific subject, or of a University degree obtained abroad (e.g. M.Sc.) and considered "equivalent" by the Faculty of the Graduate Program. In the latter case, a student must send a copy of her/his cv also to theSecretary of the Graduate Program and apply for such an "equivalence statement". The candidates will be selected on the basis of their curriculum vitae including a list of the exams cleared during their undergraduate studies, the thesis defended at the end of their 'Laurea Specialistica' (or equivalent) and from one to three recommendation letters. The deadline for the submission is September 21 2007. Number of positions. There will be 6 positions available for the Graduate Program in Mathematics and Applications starting from 2011. Financial support. There will be 3 grants available for students starting their program from January 2011. Contacts: Secretary of the Graduate Program: Sig.ra Renza Morino ·
