Doctoral Researcher or Postdoctoral Position in Numerical Analysis

The Chair of Numerical Mathematics at TUM CIT (Professor Barbara Wohlmuth) is offering a Doctoral Researcher or Postdoctoral Position in Numerical Analysis, including teaching activities (5 SWS), with a strong connection to PDEs (numerics / analysis / modeling) (100%, TV-L). The position is a household position. It offers the opportunity to pursue project-independent research in one of the group’s numerous research areas, with a focus on Applied Mathematics, Numerical Simulation, and various interdisciplinary projects. The position is initially limited to two years, with the possibility of extension. Position and Research Overview: The group’s interdisciplinary focus includes not only classical topics in numerical analysis, such as the analysis of nonlinear PDEs or the development of new solver- or coupling-methods including their convergence analysis, but also modeling and simulation aspects across a wide range of fields - from biomechanics and geophysics to polymer-fluid coupling. Further areas of interest include numerical algorithms for high-dimensional problems, classical (mainly finite elements, FEM) as well as alternative discretization methods (e.g. Lattice Boltzmann, LBM) and HPC. A selection of possible research areas can be found on our website: https://www.math.cit.tum.de/math/forschung/gruppen/numerical-analysis/research/ For further details & information, please check out our portal TUMApply (https://tumapply.aet.cit.tum.de/).
