alo gente, o Prof Marco Panza pediu pra divulgar, mas nao sei se eles podem aceitar brasileiros (por causa de vistos, etc). por favor escrevam pra eles e perguntem, se interessados. o programa me parece bem interessante! abs, Valeria ===================
The Doctor of Science program in Mathematics, Philosophy, and Physics (MPP) at Schmid College of Science and Technology at Chapman University is currently open to applications. Admission to the program requires a Master’s degree in mathematics, philosophy, physics, or a related field. Students who are currently enrolled in a Master’s program, as well as professionals working in private research agencies, are encouraged to apply. Please apply via the Graduate Application on the MPP website<https://www.chapman.edu/scst/graduate/dsci-mpp.aspx> ( www.chapman.edu/mpp). Program Overview The Doctor of Science in Mathematics, Philosophy, and Physics (MPP) is a post master’s-level doctoral program consisting of 54 credits to be completed over a three-year curriculum that leads to a D.Sc. degree. It is an innovative, cross-disciplinary program that focuses on the foundational pillars of the sciences. The D.Sc. is a research-focused degree that is usually offered in science-related fields. It is considered the academic equivalent of the more commonly awarded Ph.D., and also culminates in a doctoral dissertation. Following traditions dating back to Plato, the MPP program is grounded in the fundamental relationship between mathematics, philosophy, and the physical sciences. The MPP program encourages strong and authentic interdisciplinary collaboration within a vibrant intellectual culture. The successful student will be awarded a D.Sc. degree with emphasis in one of the three foundational disciplines and will also develop a deeper understanding of how their primary discipline interacts with and is informed by the connections to the other disciplines. The curriculum contains selected didactic courses, which serve to train students in research and communication skills common to all three disciplines. The remaining research credits are personalized to each student’s background in close collaboration with their Doctoral Supervisor and interdisciplinary Research Committee, with the goal of enabling the student to produce high-quality and competitive doctoral research in their primary discipline. Please see the MPP overview in the Graduate Catalog< https://catalog.chapman.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=44&poid=8887&returnto=2319> for further information about the program’s curriculum and requirements. Fellowship Opportunities The MPP Program will offer full funding (consisting of tuition waiver, non-tuition fellowship, and teaching salary as a Graduate Student Instructor) to four students for the 2024–2025 academic year. To be considered for fellowships, applications must be submitted by the priority deadline of January 15, 2024. Further applicants may be admitted with an offer of tuition fellowship only. Career Possibilities In the competitive academic world, increasing value is placed on researchers whose work spans multiple disciplines. A doctoral program that leads to a D.Sc. degree in Mathematics, Philosophy, and Physics (with emphasis in the chosen primary discipline) better suits the current academic market. The program gives prominence to research in the primary discipline while also requiring demonstrated competence in a secondary discipline. Upon completion, the student will be well prepared for future career goals in both the academic and industrial job sectors. Research Projects The faculty of the MPP Program conducts research in a wide range of fields related to mathematics, philosophy, and physics. Some examples include: * History and philosophy of mathematics and logic * Universal algebra, lattice theory, residuated lattices, algebraic logic, substructural logics, enumerative combinatorics * Geometric theory of functions, number theory * Quantum information science, quantum computation, and the foundations of quantum physics Application Materials The following materials are required to apply to the MPP program: * Online application for admission (which includes a $60 non-refundable application fee). * Official transcripts from degree-conferring institution(s) including all post-baccalaureate graduate coursework and advanced degree (if applicable). * Statement of intent: a 750-word essay in which applicants address topics they are interested in and how they envision continuing their research in those areas in the MPP program. * Three letters of recommendation (if possible, from recommenders external to Chapman). * A resume or curriculum vitae. * A writing sample in the form of a published or forthcoming paper, an article, a master’s thesis or dissertation, or a similar representative piece of writing.
