stipends

Department of Mathematical Sciences (MATH) invites applications for PhD stipends in applied mathematics, including statistics and the mathematics of insurance and economics. Deadline April 1, 2025.

The start date is ordinarily 1 September 2025 but can be subject to negotiation.

There will be PhD stipends available in

  • Statistics, mathematics-economics, and actuarial science in general (not associated with a prespecified project; contact directly potential supervisors or PhD coordinator Helle Sørensen, helle@math.ku.dk)

  • Statistical and machine learning modelling for multi-modal (video, speech, wearables) behavioural analysis (contact Line Katrine Harder Clemmensen, lkhc@math.ku.dk)
  • Statistical modelling of emerging risks (contact Martin Bladt, martinbladt@math.ku.dk)
  • Optimization under decision-dependent uncertainty (contact Giovanni Pantuso, gp@math.ku.dk)
  • Actuarial science within the project frame InterAct - see InterAct for the project frame and its vision and contact directly potential supervisors or Mogens Steffensen, mogens@math.ku.dk

You are welcome to contact any member of the Insurance and Economics and Statistics and Probability Theory sections to discuss research projects.
