Doctoral Student in Mathematics
Students with basic eligibility for third-cycle studies are those who
– have completed a second-cycle degree,
– have completed courses of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits are from second-cycle courses,
or
– have acquired largely equivalent knowledge in some other way, in Sweden or abroad.
It is also required that the student has achieved a level of knowledge in mathematics that corresponds to that of Master of Science programs in Engineering Mathematics or Engineering Physics.
Finally, the student is expected to have programming skills.
The employment of doctoral students is regulated in the Swedish Code of Statues 1998: 80. Only those who are or have been admitted to PhD-studies may be appointed to doctoral studentships. When an appointment to a doctoral studentship is made, the ability of the student to benefit from PhD-studies shall primarily be taken into account. In addition to devoting themselves to their studies, those appointed to doctoral studentships may be required to work with educational tasks, research and administration, in accordance with specific regulations in the ordinance.

PhD student position in Computer Science
The specific admission requirements for a PhD in computer science is either
- 150 credits in mathematics, engineering and science, including at least 60 advanced credits in computer science and an advanced project worth 30 credits and of relevance to computer science, or
- A MSc in Engineering, or other advanced degree, including at least 60 credits in computer science.
Finally, the student must be judged to have the potential to complete the programme.
It is an advantage to have a Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering, with a specialization in software.
Additional prerequisites are: Excellent knowledge of programming languages, object-oriented modeling, compiler construction, distributed systems, real-time programming, algorithms, data security and mathematics. Excellent software development skills.
Practical experience from constructing distributed systems is an advantage.
The applicant must have excellent communication skills, and be fluent in English in both speech and writing. Corresponding knowledge of Swedish is an advantage.
Selection for PhD studies is based on the student’s potential to profit from such studies. The assessment of this potential is made primarily on the basis of academic results. Special attention is paid to the following:
- Knowledge and skills relevant to the thesis project and the subject of study. These may be demonstrated through documents appended to the application and at a possible interview.
- An assessment of ability to work independently and to formulate and tackle research problems. The assessment could be made on the basis of the student’s degree project and a discussion of this at a possible interview.
- Written and oral communication skills
- Other experience relevant to PhD studies, e.g. professional experience.
The assessment will also include collaboration skills, documented ability to work independently, and how the applicant through his/her experience and competence is judged to have the potential to complete the program.
Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
