Postdoctoral Researcher in Scientific Computing (m/f/x)

Postdoctoral Researcher in Scientific Computing (m/f/x)

The group "Applied Numerics" at Ruhr University Bochum conducts cutting-edge mathematical research on the efficient solution of partial differential equations with applications in engineering, natural as well as medical sciences. Our group's focus is on finite element algorithms, spanning topics from novel discretization techniques, efficient solution of linear and nonlinear systems of equations and the implementation on novel compute architectures such as GPUs or many-core CPUs organized in large parallel supercomputers.
As a postdoctoral research (m/f/x), you will conduct independent research in numerical mathematics as well as high-performance computing and be involved in the group's teaching in numerical mathematics on the B.Sc. and M.Sc. level.
Scope: full-time
Duration: fixed-term, 3 Jahre
Start: at the earliest possible date
Apply by: 2025-09-23
Your tasks:

• Research in applied numerics, such as the development of modern structure-preserving schemes for fluid flows, the development of novel iterative solvers and preconditioners for large-scale linear systems, and/or their application in applied sciences.
• Teaching in applied mathematics.
• Contribution to mathematical software projects, including the widely used finite element library deal.II, .
• Writing of papers for publication in highly ranked international journals.
• Presentation of research results at international conferences and workshops.
• Participation in the acquisition and execution of third-party funded projects.

Your profile

• Ph.D. in applied mathematics, computational mechanics, computer science, or a related field.
• Experience in implementation of numerical algorithms in a modern programming language of scientific computing, preferably C++ or Julia.
• Interest in contributing to open-source mathematical software in a group with many international collaborators.
• Experience in using supercomputers with mature, widely used software packages is desirable, but can also be acquired as a team member.
