EU Marie Curie Innovative Training Network

Call for applications to 15 open PhD positions in the EU Marie Curie Innovative Training Network POEMA: Polynomial Optimization, Efficiency through Moments and Algebra.

The deadline for applications is March 15, 2019, and the positions are expected to start from September-October 2019, the required Master's can be obtained after the application deadline.

The POEMA (Polynomial Optimization, Efficiency through Moments and Algebra) consortium is seeking highly motivated and qualified Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) for 15 open PhD positions.

The goal of the POEMA consortium is to train scientists at the interplay of algebra, geometry and computer science for polynomial optimization problems. The proposed PhD projects are investigating the development of new algebraic and geometric  methods combined with computer algebra techniques for global non-linear optimization problems and their applications.
