Postdoc and PhD positions in the research area "Analysis, geometry and mechanics of discrete systems"
The Research Group on Calculus of Variations of the Institute for Applied Mathematics at the University of Münster and the Research Group on Applied Mathematics and Modeling of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna invite applications for
one Postdoc and two PhD-student position
starting in April 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Postdoc appointment is for two years and the PhD-student positions are for three
years. Positions are either based in Münster or in Vienna and mobility between the two institutions will be favored. Both appointments involve no teaching.
The appointments are funded by the joint international DFG-FWF grant Variational Modeling of Molecular Geometries and will focus on the analysis, geometry, and mechanics of discrete systems. Applicants for the Postdoc and PhD-student positions must have or be close to obtain a PhD or a Master, respectively, in Mathematical Sciences. A strong background in calculus of variations and/or applied analysis is required.
Applications will be assessed continuously, until positions are filled. A first evaluation round will start on

PhD position in the research area "Numerical methods for highly oscillatory differential equations"
A
position for a PreDoc assistant
at the Institute for Analysis and Scientific Computing of TU Wien, in the research area "Analysis, E101-01", is expected to be filled starting from 02.01.2020 for a period of 4 years, for 30 hours per week (salary level: group B1).
The minimum monthly wage for this salary group is currently EUR 2.148,40 gross (14 times a year). Activity-related prior experience may increase this basic salary.Necessary conditions
for the employment: a completed master's degree, diploma or master's program in mathematics or equivalent university studies in Austria or abroad.Wished skills:
- solid knowledge of (partial) differential equations and numerical analysis
- programming experience (e.g. Matlab).
The successful candidate will work on the project "Numerical methods for highly oscillatory differential equations", in a collaboration between TU Wien, University of Vienna, and University of Bourgogne (Dijon).
Highly oscillatory scattering problems appear in many wave propagation models (from acoustics, electronics, quantum mechanics - e.g. Schrödinger equation in the classical limit). The goal of this project is to develop and analyze efficient numerical methods that do not need to resolve each oscillation. Possible aspects of the PhD research include:
- hybrid (analytical-numerical) scheme for vector systems and 2D waveguides
- coupling of such WKB-based methods to the Landau-Zener formula close to eigenvalue crossings
- error analysis.
An association with the ongoing doctoral school "Dissipation and dispersion in nonlinear partial differential equations" is offered, for details see: npde.tuwien.ac.at. Thus, the PhD candidate can benefit from the collaboration between the three universities through workshops, research stays, and courses. The candidate will be part of a network of researchers on all levels (PhD candidates, post-docs, professors) involved in the doctoral school.
