Two Ph.D. Positions available for non-Italian citizens
at the Doctoral Program in Mathematics and Informatics
The University of Calabria invites applications of non-Italian citizens for 2 Ph.D. scholarships for the 2009 class of the Doctoral Program in Mathematics and Informatics.
The Program has been activated by the Department of Mathematics (www.mat.unical.it), which is one of the largest departments of the University of Calabria.
The Ph.D. period will be 3 years.
The University of Calabria will provide one successful candidate with a grant, of about EUR 1050,00 per month.
For all the successful candidates, the University of Calabria is also likely to cover living expenses (mensa + accommodation in the campus).
Ph.D. positions are offered in a pleasant working environment with excellent possibilities for professional development.
Successful candidates in Informatics (with projects focused on AI and Computational Logics) will join the Database and Artificial Intelligence group of the Department of Mathematics. The group has deep knowledge in several AI areas, which are investigated with respect to their theoretical aspects and their formal foundations as well as with the respect to the design of practical applications most often carried out in tight cooperation with industrial partners. In particular, members of the group conduct high-level research in the development of innovative infrastructure for knowledge representation and reasoning, and have achieved important results in developing non-monotonic reasoning systems.
Requirements
Only non-Italian citizens (from within European Community as well as from outside) are allowed to submit. The required qualification for being eligible for the program is a Master's Degree, or equivalent. A three-year degree is not sufficient.
