Doing your PhD at the ULB

We are always looking for strong PhD students to join the geometry group at the ULB. If you are interested in doing a PhD here, the first thing to do is to contact one of the permanent members to find a supervisor. Ideally this should be done by January of the calendar year in which you intend to begin your PhD. Once you have a potential supervisor, there are various ways to fund your PhD.

Getting here

The department of mathematics is in building NO, on the Campus de la Plaine, of the Université libre de Bruxelles. The geometry group is on the 7th floor. This map shows NO, as well as the metro station Delta and entrance 2, which is right by the stop for the number 71 and 72 buses. The number 95 also stops a short walk from the department. See the STIB website for more information on public transport in Brussels.
