scient. Assistant/Postdoc (m/f/d)

(if the personal requirements are met E 13 TV-L)

for a period of 2 years (with the possibility of extension). The position offers the possibility of a habilitation at Clausthal University of Technology.

The Institute of Mathematics at Clausthal University of Technology is characterized by a strong application orientation in research and teaching. The research focus of the Numerical Mathematics group is on the numerics of ordinary and partial differential equations with a special focus on hyperbolic conservation laws.

Job description:

Your task is to participate in the teaching of the working group, to support doctoral students and to participate in current projects of the working group, whereby the exact design will be adapted to the interests and experience of the applicant. The focus is on the following fundamental questions:

• Development and analysis of structure-preserving methodsfor flow simulations
• Research on innovative finite element and grid-free methods and their applications
• Construction of advanced methods for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in realistic and large-scale simulations
• Use of scientific machine learning techniques to solve practice-oriented challenges

More information on individual points can be found here.

Your profile:

• Successfully completed scientific university studies (Master, Diploma or equivalent) in mathematics, technomathematics, scientific computing, or a comparable field of study
• Proof of completion of a relevant doctorate at the time of recruitment
• In-depth knowledge of the numerics of partial differential equations
• The ability to teach in German and/or English is required; willingness to acquire the missing language skills in each case
• Good programming skills in at least one high-level programming language (e.g. Julia, Fortran, etc.)
• Experience in the use of larger software packages
• Teaching experience
• In-depth knowledge of hyperbolic conservation laws is an advantage
• In-depth knowledge of numerical analysis (error/stability analysis of processes) an advantage

We offer:

• Exciting topics and participation in top international research
• The opportunity to develop innovative approaches and solutions independently
• The possibility of a habilitation in mathematics
• A family-friendly and collegial working environment in committed teams as well as varied areas of responsibility
• Flexible working hours and the opportunity to work partly from home

Remuneration is based on the collective agreement for the public service of the federal states
(TV-L). The TV-L provides for an annual special payment at the end of the year. In addition, we offer a separate supplementary pension scheme in the form of a company pension (VBL).

Clausthal University of Technology supports the compatibility of career and family through flexible working time models within the scope of official possibilities and is a member of the university association "Family in the University".

Equality with its facets of equal opportunities, diversity and family friendliness is an important concern at Clausthal University of Technology. People with disabilities are given priority if they are suitable. Applications from people of all nationalities are welcome.
