PhD program in Geometry and Mathematical Physics (GMP) at SISSA.
The Mathematics area at SISSA offers a doctoral program focused on Geometry and Mathematical Physics and targeted to excellent students.
The GMP graduate program is entirely taught in English and covers various topics of modern mathematics: algebraic geometry; real and complex differential geometry; stochastic and real algebraic geometry; non-commutative geometry; integrable structures in mathematics and physics, random matrices; special functions; nonlinear waves; geometry of strings and quantum fields; mathematical methods of quantum physics.
Students at SISSA have the possibility of studying and doing research in an international and active environment, interacting closely with professors and postdocs.
The GMP graduate program is structured as follows: during the first year of PhD the students will complete their preparation by attending graduate courses in their area of interest (here is the list of the current courses), and the remaining years are dedicated exclusively to research.
Benefits for our students include:
- mentoring programs
- funding for summer schools and conferences
- funding for 4 years (12 months/year stipend)
- no teaching load (some light teaching is possible, if desired)
- on-site kindergarten and maternity leave contribution
- contribution toward housing expenses
- language courses
- rich seminar activity
Trieste is an international city, and in 2020 it has been nominated the European City of Science. With a low cost of living, together with the ICTP, the University of Trieste, the iGAP, and the AREA Science Park, SISSA contributes to make Trieste the perfect city for graduate studies.
SISSA promotes international research and our PhD program also has co-tutelle supervisions with many European Institutions.
