●      Relevant experience will be an asset although not required.

 

The position involves:

●      working under the direct supervision of Olga Pochinka, Laboratory Head;

●      participants are encouraged to pursue their own research along with working on Laboratory of Dynamical Systems and Applications’s research projects such as:

o  Dissipative dynamics of infinite-dimensional and finite-dimensional systems, development of mathematical models of mechanical, hydrodynamic processes;

o  Development and application of methods of dynamical systems theory to physical models;

●      writing research papers for international peer-reviewed journals in co-authorship with the members of the International Laboratory of Dynamical Systems and Applications;

●      participation in the events of the International Laboratory of Dynamical Systems and Applications and other contribution to the Lab’s development;
