Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: Ume� University, Sweden
Scholarship can be taken at: Sweden

Eligibility:
Prerequisites include either i) 240 ECTScredits (swe. h�gskolepo�ng) of higher education studies of which 60 should be on an advanced level (Master level), or ii) 120 Swedish (old) credits (swe. po�ng; corresponding to 180 ECTS-credits of these) of higher education studies if they were taken before July 1, 2007. In addition to these general requirements, 90 ECTS credits need to be in the area of computational science (mathematics, mathematical statistics and computer science) of which 30 should be on an advanced level (Master level). Competent is also applicants that otherwise, within or outside the country, acquired essentially equivalent knowledge.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The PhD candidate will work in a research group in computational mathematics. The research group focuses on development of computer methods for solution of partial differential equations with applications in solid, fluid, and bio mechanics. The research activities are interdisciplinary and build on a combination of mathematics, computer science, and applications. The PhD research project focuses on development and analysis of reduction methods for finite element models of elastic and thermoelastic problems with applications in multibody simulation of mechanical systems. The research project is carried out in close cooperation with industrial and academic partners. Knowledge of finite element methods, numerical analysis, partial differential equations, mathematical modeling, fluid and solid mechanics, and programming in Matlab and C++ is qualifying.
