[Germany] PhD-Postdoc Position at RWTH Aachen
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 f�r Geometrie und Praktische Mathematik).
These activities are closely intertwined with current interdisciplinary research projects with partners from engineering sciences, e.g., Collaborative Research Center CRC540 “Model-based experimental analysis of kinetic phenomena in fluid multi-phase reactive systemsâ€. Within this CRC we want to employ a scientific researcher (PhD or Postdoc).
The position gives the opportunity to work in a highly motivated interdisciplinary team on a topic on the cutting-edge of applied mathematics and scientific computing.
Project summary: The project concerns the development and implementation of numerical methods for the simulation of two-phase incompressible flows. The candidate becomes a member of a team that is working on the development of a solver (DROPS, cf. http://www.igpm.rwth-aachen.de/DROPS) that is used for the numerical simulation of two-phase flows that are considered in CRC540.
The candidate should have a strong background in the numerical analysis of partial differential equations. 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.
