Germany – RWTH Aachen IGPM PhD or Postdoc Position in Engineering Sciences

The development and analysis of numerical methods along with the relevant theoretical foundations for a wide range of problem classes is a central research area at the IGPM (Institut für Geometrie und Praktische Mathematik).

Primary examples are adaptive solution strategies or nonlinear data compression and analysis techniques. In articular, recent wavelet concepts have opened new perspectives by closely intertwining the discretization with the solution process aiming at realizing desired target accuracies by using as few degrees of freedom as possible while keeping storage and computational complexity proportional to this minimal problem size.

These activities are closely intertwined with current interdisciplinary research projects with partners from engineering sciences, e.g., Collaborative Research Center SFB401 “Modulation of Flow and Fluid-Structure Interaction at Airplane Wings”.

Currently we are looking for candidates that hold a master/diploma in mathematics. The candidate should have a strong background in the numerical analysis of partial differential equations or computational harmonic analysis.

Of particular interest are conservation laws, finite volume discretizations, multilevel schemes, wavelet techniques. In this context, good programming skills in C++ and a basic knowledge in computational fluid dynamics are desirable but not a must.

We can offer a full PhD/Postdoc position which can be filled immediately. The salary is according to BAT IIa.

Employment equity is one of our goals. We also welcome applications from persons with disabilities.
