The department of mathematics A at Technische Universitaet Graz, in Graz, Austria, offers a PhD position for 3 years in the area of algebra, discrete mathematics or number theory, with a gross salary of EUR 27900 per year, funded by FWF grant project P 27816-N26 "Polynomials on finite rings" supervised by Sophie Frisch, to start in March 2015 or Oct 2015.

Doctoral students in mathematics at Technische Universitaet Graz will have a particularly rich selection in graduate courses in algebra, number theory and discrete mathematics during the next four years, because the doctoral program in ``discrete mathematics'', funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, has just been extended until 2018.

This program will bring lots of visiting faculty in the above areas to Graz, as well as a large cohort of international doctoral students, ensuring a stimulating research environment. Doctoral students in mathematics at Technische Universitaet Graz can also take courses at Karl-Franzens Universitaet Graz for credit. Courses in the PhD program are taught in English.
