PhD Position, Arctic University In Norway, 2022

• The position will be attached to the project “UiT Aurora Center for Mathematical Structures in Computations” (MASCOT) funded by the UiT Aurora Centers initiative. The MASCOT Center aims to unify and advance research frontiers in the interplay of pure mathematics and computations by exploring fundamental mathematical structures and their increasing significance for modern algorithms and novel program architectures.
• The focus of research will be on novel possibilities to explore the algebraic and geometric nature of computational complexity, and analyze structural methods to reduce this complexity, as well as to adapt these methods to concrete applications in optimization, control theory, and robotics More concretely, the announced position will be attached to a work package on optimization of computations via algebraic and combinatorial approaches to complexity. Here the research will center around mathematical structures that are fundamental for efficient computations, in particular, on the role of symmetry to facilitate and structure computational processes.
• Applicants must submit a project proposal that describes how they scientifically can contribute to the MASCOT project.
