LaCaixa 2019 PhD Position @BCAM Project title / Job position title: Ph.D. Fellow in Mathematical Physics at BCAM Research Project / Research Group Description. PhD position in Mathematical Physics. • Objective: At the interface between Mathematics and Physics is the so-called Mathematical Physics that at BCAM is represented by the research lines in Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Physics and Singularity Theory & Algebraic Geometry. • Applications: Our methods could apply to, future applications of quantum technologies or forecast of wildland fire propagation to preserve natural heritage, criptography and string theory.. Specific research PhD project thesis • Singularities in Algebraic Geometry and/or symplectic topology. Advisor: J. Fernandez de Bobadilla. The team focuses in Singularities and Algebraic Geometry from a inter-disciplinar perspective (algebraic, topological, symplectic or Hodge Theoretical methods). He will focus on a topic in the field according with his thematic preference and abilities. Possibilities include Lipschitz Geometry of Singularities, Floer Homology of Milnor fibrations, Geometric Representation Theory, Sheaf and Hodge Theoretic aspects of singularities. • Brocket–Wegner Flow equations and Many-Particle Systems. Advisor: Jean-Bernard Bru. Following [Bru-Bach, Memoirs of the AMS 240(1138) (2016)] we will use the Brocket–Wegner flow to study quadratic fermionic operators as well as the unitary (polaron) transformation. The semigroup theory and a knowledge of nonautonomous evolution equations are pivotal in this context. • Stochastic Processes for Anomalous Diffusion in Living Cells. Advisor: G. Pagnini. Since Nobel prizes 2009 in Physiology or Medicine, 2012 and 2014 in Chemistry, available data on mechanisms in living cells increased dramatically calling for their understanding. Research focuses on the observed anomalous dynamics from the viewpoint of stochastic processes and statistical mechanics. Job Position description. BCAM is a world-class research center in the field of Applied Mathematics located in Bilbao (Spain). It obtained the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence award in 2013 and 2018 given by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. BCAM is part of the ERCOM European Research Centers on Mathematics http://www.ercom.org networks. BCAM has endorsed the Charter & Code in 2008 and has been awarded the HR Excellence in research Logo in 2016.
