     http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/MDS/

funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) at the three Berlin
Universities offers

	several SCHOLARSHIPs

for Ph.D. Studies starting January 15th, 2011 or later.

The scholarships are 1350 EUR (tax-free) per month - according to DFG

third year.

The MDS course program consists of the Monday Afternoon Colloquium 
lectures, block courses, summer schools, regular predoc programs, etc. - 
all this in a very lively Berlin discrete mathematics context, which 
also includes the DFG Research Center MATHEON (http://www.matheon.de).

The RTG "Methods for Discrete Structures" is also a registered unit for 
the "Phase II" part of BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL 
(http://www.math-berlin.de), the joint international graduate program of 
the three major Berlin universities - which has a lot to offer! Students 
of the MDS program may apply to be members of the BERLIN MATHEMATICAL 
SCHOOL.

Applicants for Ph.D. scholarships are expected to have a 
Diploma/Master's degree or equivalent, usually in Mathematics or 
Computer Science. Applications for scholarships starting in 2011 
consisting of

 - letter of application
 - curriculum vitae
 - Diplom/masters' thesis
 - proposal for possible thesis topic
 - recommendation letter by thesis advisor
   (to be sent directly to us)
