Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d) in Mathematics for the project “Quantized vortices and nonlinear waves”

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 concerns the mathematical analysis of dispersive phenomena in compressible flows, related to the propagation of nonlinear waves. A particular focus will lie on qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions to models for quantum fluids e.g. as appearing in Bose-Einstein condensates or superfluid helium.

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’s or an equivalent degree in Mathematics.
• Strong background in analysis and partial differential equations.
• We expect good writing and oral communication skills in English, along with the ability to work independently within an international team.
