Netherlands: PhD Position, TU Eindhoven

[administrator]

Applications are invited for a PhD position at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Centre for Analysis, Scientific computing and Applications (CASA).

The topic of the PhD project is structure-preserving computational methods and model order reduction for time-dependent nonlinear differential equations (ODEs and PDEs). The successful applicant will work on aspects related to the development, analysis, and application of numerical approximations and reduced order models that respect fundamental properties of the physics of the problem, e.g., conservation of invariants, Hamiltonian, energy balances, etc.

Candidates are expected to have finished, or be about to finish, a master's degree in mathematics, applied mathematics or computational sciences. A good knowledge of numerical analysis, numerical methods for differential equations and scientific computing is required. Experience in model order reduction and/or structure-preserving approximations is considered an advantage but is not essential.

The starting date is open for discussion, and there is flexibility given the COVID-19 situation. The interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, transcript of records, a concise (max. 1 page) motivation letter and contact information of two references. Applicants are encouraged to send their applications as early as possible; the position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found.

PhD positions at TU/e are fixed-term, four-year positions. The salary is in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement of the Dutch Universities, increasing from approximately Euro 2.395 per month in the first year, to Euro 3.061 in the fourth year. The position comes with some teaching responsibilities.

Application documents and questions about the position should be directed to Cecilia Pagliantini, c.pagliantini@tue.nl.
