The doc.funds doctoral school
Modeling – Analysis – Optimization of discrete, continuous, and stochastic systems
is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and by the University of Klagenfurt.
The doctoral school is embedded into the well-established doctoral program in mathematics, but provides a special structure and a clearly defined research goal.
In our research we aim for solving mathematical problems by creating synergies from a multi-perspective view, combining the knowledge of several mathematical sub-disciplines.
In order to guarantee optimal guidance for this, every PhD student has a supervisor and a co-supervisor from the faculty as well as an international expert as a mentor, who will host the students international research stay.
The doctoral school and the doctoral program in mathematics provide a vivid, friendly, and research-oriented environment for PhD students from all over the world.
The coordinator team of the doctoral school consists of Prof. Michaela Szölgyenyi (coordinator), Prof. Barbara Kaltenbacher (co-coordinator), and Roswitha Rissner.
The faculty consists of Professors in the mathematical sub-disciplines relevant for the doctoral school.
These are Clemens Heuberger, Philipp Hungerländer, Barbara Kaltenbacher, Christian Pötzsche, Franz Rendl, Elena Resmerita, Michaela Szölgyenyi, and Angelika Wiegele. Associated faculty members provide additional support for the PhD students: Andrei Asinowski, Viktoriia Grushkovska, Gregor Kastner, Roswitha Rissner.
Fourteen PhD positions have been filled. Eleven women and three men were selected and are now pursuing their doctoral degree in the scope of this doctoral school. These early career researchers are from Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Romania, South Africa, Ukraine, and Vietnam.

Graduation requirements
In addition to the graduation requirements of the doctoral program the doctoral school has additional requirements for the ideal preparation of our PhD students for the academic job market. These are
- participation in at least one (internal or external) summer school and in at least two status seminars
- if there are less than two positively reviewed papers in international refereed journals or conference proceedings, then in addition to the two positive international reviews of the thesis, there must be two preprints on arXiv.org, which the supervisor and the co-supervisor declare publishable
- research stay abroad (this condition may be relaxed for those PhD students who have strong personal obstacles such as maternity).
