Germany : 15 Doctoral positions-Optimization and Numerical Analysis for Partial Differential Equations with Nonsmooth Structures

The International Research Training Group (IGDK 1754) Optimization and Numerical Analysis for Partial Differential Equations with Nonsmooth Structures funded by German Research Foundation (DFG) and Austrian Science Fund (FWF) associated with the four universities

• Technische Universität München,
• Universität der Bundeswehr München,
• Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, and
• Technische Universität Graz

invites applications for

10 Doctoral positions (75% TV-L 13) in Munich and 5 Doctoral positions (75%) in Graz

for research projects concerned with numerical methods and optimization algorithms in the context of partial differential equations. See the list of projects for details.

The positions are awarded for up to 3 years, starting on March 1, 2012 or later.

Successful applicants hold a master degree (or Diplom degree) in Mathematics with a strong background in one of the fields of numerics, optimization, or analysis. A good command of the English language, mobility, and a strong interest in applied mathematics are necessary prerequisites.

Applicants are asked to submit a curriculum vitae, copies of certifications of academic qualifications held, a copy of a degree thesis or of a peer-reviewed publication (if available) and two letters of recommendation.
