The CRC is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics. See www.waves.kit.edu for a list of participating scientists, topics, and project descriptions.

With this position the CRC promotes outstanding young scientists on their path towards a scientific career. As a successful candidate, you will benefit from an excellent research environment in which you can independently develop your own research project. The position is endowed with a Ph.D. position and a budget for travel and guests. It is temporary with a duration of four years.

You must have a Ph.D. in mathematics, some international research experience, and you are in an early stage of your scientific career (ideally between two and about four years after obtaining your doctorate degree). You have demonstrated your scientific independence by excellent publications in Numerical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations, including inverse problems.

Please provide one pdf document which includes a CV, a research part of max. five pages comprising a research plan, potential collaborations within the CRC, and suggestions for a Ph.D. project. Please supplement your document with contact information for at least one letter of recommendation, and web links to all publications including your Ph.D. thesis.

We offer an attractive and modern workplace with access to excellent facilities of KIT, diverse and responsible tasks, a wide scope of advanced training options, support measures for research group leaders in the framework of the Young Investigator Network at KIT, supplementary pension with the VBL (Pension Authority for Employees in the Public Service Sector), flexible working time models, a job ticket (BW) allowance, and a cafeteria/canteen.

KIT is a family-friendly university with childcare and various support programs for families.

We prefer to balance the number of employees (f/m/d). Therefore, we kindly ask female applicants to apply for this job. If qualified, severely disabled persons will be preferred.

Please apply online via office@waves.kit.edu until September 30th, 2024. For further information,please contact Prof. Dr. Marlis Hochbruck (marlis.hochbruck@kit.edu).

 

Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d)

The Collaborative Research Center “Wave phenomena – analysis and numerics” (CRC 1173), is currently seeking to recruit, as soon as possible, a

Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) - 100% Project A11 "Electromagnetic fields interacting with Quantum matter"

The CRC has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015. Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.

The Project A11 “Electromagnetic fields interacting with Quantum matter” deals with quantum systems possibly in the presence of external classical or quantized electromagnetic fields. Examples of such systems are atoms or molecules, polarons, graphene. More details can be found in www.waves.kit.edu/ A11.php

We provide an inspiring, attractive, interdisciplinary, and internationally recognized scientific environment with access to excellent facilities of the KIT, a wide scope of advanced training options within our integrated research training group, and flexible working time models. Our CRC aims at the implementation of equal opportunities, it promotes diversity and supports persons with childcare or eldercare responsibilities as well as persons with disabilities. Funds for travel and guests are available through the CRC.

The following qualifications are required seeking your consideration for this position:

  • Doctoral degree in Mathematics or Physics.
  • Strong background in functional analysis, mathematical quantum mechanics and operator theory.
  • We expect good writing and oral communication skills in English along with the ability to work independently within an international team.

Applications in one pdf should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and copies of degree certificate(s).

We offer an attractive and modern workplace with access to excellent facilities of KIT, diverse and responsible tasks, a wide scope of advanced training options, supplementary pension with the VBL (Pension Authority for Employees in the Public Service Sector), flexible working time models, a job ticket (BW) allowance, and a cafeteria/canteen.

We prefer to balance the number of employees (f/m/d). Therefore, we kindly ask female applicants to apply for this job. If qualified, severely disabled persons will be preferred.

Postdoctoral Researchers (f/m/d)

The Collaborative Research Center “Wave phenomena – Analysis and Numerics” (CRC 1173) is currently seeking to recruit

Postdoctoral Researchers (f/m/d)

Contract duration is limited to two years.

The CRC is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics. See www.waves.kit.edu for a list of participating scientists and project descriptions.

We seek postdoctoral researchers to work in the area of analysis or numerics of wave phenomena.

As a Postdoc you will work on your self-proposed research project. You will have access to the lecture program and the interdisciplinary research network of the CRC. The CRC also offers administrative support. Teaching opportunities can be offered, too.

The following qualifications are required for these positions:

  • You hold a PhD in Mathematics.
  • Your research profile fits the topics of the CRC, in particular the analysis or numerics of PDEs.
  • You have some international experience.
  • You are open-minded, active, and have a good command of English language.

We prefer to balance the number of employees (f/m/d). Therefore, we kindly ask female applicants to apply for this job.

Your application (research plan with indication as to which CRC project or topic it fits, CV, cover letter, certificates) should be submitted online via office@waves.kit.edu by the 31st of August 2024.
