analysis of continuous-time models by means of model/dimensionality 
reduction. The candidates are therefore required to demonstrate a strong 
background and understanding in at least one of the following areas:

--- Continuous-time models such as Markov chains or differential equations
--- Mathematical optimization and dimensionality/model reduction
--- Scientific computing and software development

The envisaged starting date is October 2021, application deadline is the 
6th of August. Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English 
are required. Knowledge of Danish is not compulsory.
