The Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg) METHODS FOR DISCRETE STRUCTURES funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) at the three Berlin Universities will in 2009 offer SIX SCHOLARSHIPS for Ph.D. Studies starting October 2009 or later. We will review applications and grant scholarships after the dates/deadlines February 15, April 15 and June 30, 2009. The scholarships are 1350 EUR (tax-free) per month - according to DFG rules. They are usually granted as 2-year fellowships, extendible by a third year. The scientific program of the MDS program treats combinatorics and discrete mathematics broadly, with an emphasis on diverse mathematical methods, such as Geometric Methods Algorithmic Methods Graph Methods Topological Methods Enumeration Methods Probabilistic Methods. The MDS program is a joint initiative of scientists at the three major Berlin universities, Freie Universität Berlin (FU), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), and Technische Universität Berlin (TU). Its faculty consists of Prof. Martin Aigner (FU), Prof. Helmut Alt (FU), Prof. Stefan Felsner (TU), Prof. Martin Grötschel (TU/ZIB, associated), Prof. Martin Grohe (HU), Prof. Rolf Möhring (TU), Prof. Günter Rote (FU), Prof. Mathias Schacht (HU), and Prof. Günter M. Ziegler (TU, coordinator) as well as adjoint and junior faculty. The MDS course program consists of the Monday Afternoon Colloquium lectures, block courses, summer schools, regular predoc programs, etc. - all this in a very lively Berlin discrete mathematics context, which also includes the DFG Research Center MATHEON (http://www.matheon.de). The RTG "Methods for Discrete Structures" is also a registered unit for the "Phase II" part of BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL (http://www.math-berlin.de), the joint international graduate program of the three major Berlin universities - which has a lot to offer! Students of the MDS program may apply to be members of the BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL. Applicants for Ph.D. scholarships are expected to have a Diploma/Master's degree or equivalent, usually in Mathematics or Computer Science. Applications for scholarships starting in the fall of 2009 consisting of - letter of application - curriculum vitae - Diplom/masters' thesis - proposal for possible thesis topic - recommendation letter by thesis advisor (to be sent directly to us) should be directed to Prof. Günter M. Ziegler, Coordinator RTG "Methods for Discrete Structures" Inst. Mathematics, MA 6-2 TU Berlin D-10623 Berlin, Germany email: ziegler@math.tu-berlin.de Tel.: +49 - 30 - 314-25730 Fax: +49 - 30 - 314-21269 Applications by email are welcome. If you have applied to BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL Phase II, then please just inform us about this - there is no need to submit your materials again. ==================================================== Prof. Günter M.
