PhD projects

Useful information for prospective applicants:

All my research projects combine nonlinear dynamics, computer simulations (scientific programming) and stochastic processes/statistical physics. Evidenced good knowledge in these areas is therefore a pre-requisite to do a PhD with me. An interest for interdisciplinary research is also needed. In their first year of studies, a PhD studied will be expected to deepen their knowledge in these and related areas, such as statistical physics, stochastic simulations, and topics like evolutionary game theory, which are all relevant for our research projects.

Please note that in order to receive full consideration, potential PhD students have to apply formally and submit all the requested documents (pro-forma, transcripts, reference letters, CV). After the review of these documents it will be decided whether to take the application to a further stage (interview, academic offer, etc). The application process is described here. Additional useful information can be found here.

Prospective PhD students interested in competing for a fully-funded 3.5-year PhD scholarship (subject to eligibility) should notice that the allocation of scholarships is decided each year around March-April, and the expected start date for the new cohort of PhD students is 1st October (with some flexibility). Well-qualified prospective candidates are therefore encouraged to apply as soon as possible, in order to receive full attention and possibly be interviewed before the allocation of PhD scholarships is decided.
