PhD position in mathematical general relativity, Gothenburg, Sweden

We are looking for a Doctoral student at the division Analysis and Probability Theory within the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. The research project is in mathematical general relativity.

In this Doctoral project, you will study the mathematics of general relativity. This includes investigations of quasi-linear PDE systems in strongly curved geometries. Of particular interest are problems related to black holes, their stability, uniqueness, decay of fields around them, details about their geometry etc. This is a highly active field with research groups around the world.

In this project, you will learn to combine modern analysis techniques like Morawetz estimates with Penrose’s Nobel prize winning geometrical insights and formalisms, intricate symmetry operators, spinor techniques and powerful computer algebra tools to ef...
