On Campus (Full Time) Position Details (PhD Program)
The Einstein Institute of Mathematics at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem welcomes applications by excellent international students to the PhD program.
The Mathematics PhD program at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem aims to train the top tier of future mathematicians and offers a uniquely attractive environment to learn and work, with weekly seminars, frequent special lecture series on current topics in mathematics and scientific exchange with visiting researchers from Israel and around the world, as well as state-of-the-art thematic years and workshops organized by the nearby Israel Institute of Advanced Studies.
Key Facts
The program requirements are the same as for Israeli students, including:
- Courses totaling 12 credit points over the course of the degree (each credit point is roughly 1 hour per week for a semester long course). Advanced courses will be offered in English.
- Research thesis (to be submitted close to the end of the degree).
In addition, the studies will follow certain procedures specified by the research authority. Specifically, a scientific committee will be appointed to follow the progress of the student, consisting of the advisor and two external experts. Within the first 18 months of study the student will submit a research proposal and present it to the committee. Later in the degree the student will present a progress report to the committee, and finally, the outcome of the research will be presented in a departmental seminar setting. Once the thesis is submitted it is evaluated by the advisor and two external experts. Further details of the procedures can be found in the link above.
Programme Structure
- Program requirements include the completion of 12 academic course credits (each credit point is roughly 1 hour per week for a semester-long course), and the submission of a research thesis upon conclusion of the degree.
- Additionally, students participate in frequent lecture series on current topics in mathematics, ongoing exchange and collaboration with visiting researchers from around the globe, thematic workshops, global conferences, and more.
