of the School: Prof. Andrea
Braides Dipartimento
di Matematica
The main objective of the
school is the preparation of highly skilled
mathematicians able to work both in Academia and in
other private or public institutions using advanced
mathematical research. To this end several advanced
courses are offered each year, held by the department
faculty and by invited scholars, mainly in English.
Beside these courses a great number of seminars are
organized regularly. The Department provides a very
lively and stimulating scientific environment, also being
involved in European Training Networks,
hosting research centers such at the Center for
Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and being
part of the organization of several schools such as
the Rome-Moscow Schools. The
Department has many agreements with foreign
institutions or research consortia (for example the European
Several Complex Variables Consortium).
More activities are organized in collaboration with
the other two Rome Mathematics Departments and
institutions such as INdAM, the National
Institute for Advanced Mathematics, and IAC,
the largest institute of Applied Mathematics of the
Italian Research Council CNR.
PhD students are offered a variety of research options both in pure and applied Mathematics from which to choose their thesis subject. The high scientific quality of the research options at the Department is testified by its constant top ranking in Italian research evaluations, by its hosting several European Research Council grants at every level (starting, consolidator and advanced), and several Italian research grants (PRIN, FIRB and others), and by the invitations of its researchers to top international conferences. Beside the activities in Rome, PhD students are encouraged to spend part of their training at some of the many foreign institutions with which research groups have active collaborations. Career Opportunities
The main source of career opportunities for the
PhD in Mathematics is presently given by work in
Academia. An internal survey on recent PhDs shows that
more than 80 per cent of them have obtained a
post-doctoral position immediately after their PhD.
Traditionally, PhD graduates may also obtain qualified
jobs in the private sector, ranging from space
industries to banks, IT companies, etc..
Another possible career is as a high-school teacher,
the PhD program providing a deeper and more aware
scientific preparation, with possible scientific work
on the subject of school teaching itself.
