Two open Phd positions and two open PostDoc positions are available in the group of Applied Mathematics at the University of Kiel. Candidates should have an excellent background in applied mathematics, numerical analysis and/or computational fluid mechanics.
The positions are available on the following projects:
(a) Model Adaptivity for Atmospheric Transport Models
(b) Simulation of Thermohaline Convection in the Ocean’s Crust with Adaptive Finite Elements
(c) Multiscale Methods for Near Surface Vertical Mixing Processes in the Ocean
(d) Anisotropic Finite Elements for Fluids
Project (a) is supported within the DFG priority program MetStroem. Cooperation with scientists from Metereology and Chemistry are welcome.
Projects (b) and (c) are supported by the Excellence Cluster “The Future Ocean” at the CAU Kiel and the IFM-Geomar. Cooperation with marine scientists are indispensable.
Candidates for a postdoctoral position must have research experience and international publications preferable on these particular topics.
All positions should start as soon as possible.
PhD-positions are initially for two years, with the possibility of extensions. Post-Doc positions are for at least one year and up to five years depending on individual qualification and the particular research topic.
Electronic applications in pdf format including a CV, a list of publications, possible research topics and the names of two possible references, are most welcome.
