Germany: Research Position in Scientific Computing, Technische Universitaet Dortmund

Research Position in Scientific Computing, Technische Universitaet Dortmund, Germany

The Institute of Applied Mathematics at the Technische Universitaet Dortmund (Germany) offers a position for a researcher at the Chair of Scientific Computing (Professor H. Blum, http://www.mathematik.uni-dortmund.de/lsx).

Salary will be according to TVL 13 (100%) on the German salary scale for the public service. The position is limited for 2 years, an extension will be possible.

The successful candidate will work on a project in the newly established Collaborative Research Centre SFB / TR 73. Major duties include the development, analysis and implementation of finite element based methods for problems in forming technology, whose efficiency relies on an adaptive choice of the underlying physical model.

Required qualifications include a M.Sc. or Diploma in mathematics or an allied field and knowledge about mechanical modelling and discretisation techniques for the corresponding partial differential equations in the context of the finite element method. Further, some experiences of programming with object oriented programming languages is required. Additionally, knowledge of the mathematical theory and analysis of adaptive methods and of elastoplastic deformation of metallic materials would be an advantage. We expect the successful candidate to cooperate in an interdisciplinary way with engineers from different areas of forming technology.
