Who we are

Politecnico di Torino is a major Engineering and Architecture School located in Torino, North-West Italy, close to the Alps. Torino is a large city (900. 000 dwellers) and an important business and cultural center.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences (DISMA) at Politecnico di Torino has been awarded the title of Department of Excellence 2018-2022 from the Italian Ministry of education, University and Research (MIUR). Consequently, it has received a large grant to pursue a scientific project.

What we expect from applicants

Applicants should own some expertise and genuine scientific interest in one of the four central themes of the project:

  • T1. Resilient control for network systems;
  • T2. Nested mathematical models in biomedicine
  • T3. Numerical methods for models with high geometric complexity;
  • T4. Approximation and statistical inference in random reaction (and interaction) networks.
The candidates must hold a PhD title, defended after the 1st August 2012; they should be a promising outstanding researchers whose potential is transparent from an excellent PhD thesis and possible publications in academic journals.

Some experience in teaching is welcome, but not strictly required.
