administrator Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 The Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) is an institute of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. (FVB). The FVB comprises seven non-university research institutes in Berlin which are funded by the federal and state governments. The research institutes belong to the Leibniz Association. WIAS invites applications for a PhD student position (f/m/d) (Ref. 23/19) in the Research Group "Nonlinear Optimization and Inverse Problems" (Head: Prof. Dr. D. Homberg) to be filled at the earliest possible date. The position is associated to the project "Analysis of energy-variational solutions for hyperbolic conservation laws", which is part of the SPP 2410 "Hyperbolic Balance Laws in Fluid Mechanics: Complexity, Scales, Randomness". While hyperbolic conservation laws are ubiquitous in the modeling of fluid-dynamical processes, fundamental analytic question remain open until today. In this project, a novel solution concept for such equations, which is founded on energetic considerations and variational methods, is studied. The project aims at the derivation of new existence results, the investigation of selection criteria to single out physically relevant solutions, and the numerical approximation of such solutions. We are looking for: candidates with a master's degree in mathematics or a closely related field with a strong background in at least one of the following fields: analysis of partial differential equations, calculus of variations, functional analysis. Prior knowledge in mathematical fluid mechanics, numerical analysis, or nonlinear optimization is beneficial. Please direct scientific queries to Dr. Robert Lasarzik (robert.lasarzik@wias-berlin.de) and Dr. Thomas Eiter (thomas.eiter@wias-berlin.de). Please upload your complete application documents (motivation letter, detailed CV, certificates, copy of the master thesis, etc.) via our online job-application facility (https://short.sg/j/34784589) until September 18, 2023 using the button "Apply online" (https://short.sg/a/34784589).
