Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d) in Mathematics for the project “Numerical simulation of wave propagation in spatial network models”

The CRC has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015. Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.

The proposed doctoral project aims to develop and analyze methods for simulating wave propagation in spatial network models. Such models consist of differential equations at the edges of a graph, suitably coupled at its nodes, and occur, for example, in the modeling of fiber-based materials. We intend to use techniques from domain decomposition and numerical homogenization, which you will learn during the project.

We seek ambitious doctoral researchers (w/m/d) with an interest in analysis and PDEs.  Within the project, you will learn and combine techniques from mathematical fluid mechanics and nonlinear dispersive PDEs. You will have the opportunity to attend courses, conferences, workshops, and summer schools. Engagement in teaching is encouraged.

Persönliche Qualifikation

• Excellent Master or an equivalent degree in Mathematics.
• Strong background in numerical mathematics, particularly in numerical methods for partial differential equations.
• We expect excellent writing and oral communication skills along with the ability to work independently within an international team.
