Overview

Careers

Doctoral studies in Mathematical Sciences at Linköping University prepare for a continued academic career involving research and teaching as well as for a professional life outside the university world. Mathematical breadth and depth, and the ability to absorb new theory and digest complex events are in high demand across a large part of the labour market.

PhD level mathematicians are wanted in IT security, cryptology, resource optimization, simulations for example in pharmaceutical development, autonomous systems, risk analysis in finance and insurance, meteorology, communication systems, and many other areas.

The impending future challenges, not least concerning sustainable development and climate transition, require significant mathematical expertise, both directly for example in optimization, mathematical modelling, and dynamical systems, and indirectly in that all relevant science and technology developments rely on a mathematical framework.
