Dear all,
following researcher position in Applied Mathematics is available
The Research Group "Algorithmic Optimal Control – Oceanic CO2 Uptake" in the Department of Computer Science at Kiel University (CAU), Germany, is offering a Researcher Position in Applied Mathematics starting as soon as possible, initially offered for up to three years. The salary corresponds to 90 % of a full position at the level of TV-L E13 of the German public service salary scale. A part of 0,25 of the position is connected with a teaching load of two hours per week in every second semester.
We are looking for a person with background in Applied Mathematics, specifically in the numerical solution of (parabolic) partial differential equations.
The position is part of the research project „Strategies for parallelization in time and model order reduction" in the german national climate modeling initiative „From the Last Interglacial to the Anthropocene: Modeling a Complete Glacial Cycle (PalMod)", which aims at simulating the climate from the peak of the last interglacial up to the present using comprehensive Earth System Models.
Topic is the implementation, evaluation and improvement of parallel-in-time (also called parareal) algorithms for long-term climate simulations. For this purpose, a fast model of lower complexity shall be coupled to a slower one with higher resolution (micro-macro parallel-in-time algorithm). Aim of the project is to investigate the applicability of parallel-intime methods in a basic model configuration.
Requirements are:
• Diploma or Master Degree in Mathematics (or related field with strong background in
numerical mathematics)
• Good oral and written communication skills in English
• Good programming skills in C or Fortran.
You will have the chance to get a deeper knowledge about climate modelling and simulation, and to apply your expertise in Mathematics and Computer Science to real-world problems. We also offer the opportunity to work interdisciplinarily between the communities of both climate and computational science.
The University of Kiel is an equal opportunity employer, aiming to increase the proportion of women in science. Applications by women are particularly welcome. Given equal qualifications, applicants with severe disabilities will be given priority consideration.
Applications by people with a migration background are particularly welcomed.
Interested candidates should send an application letter including curriculum vitae and copies of transcripts via e-mail to Prof. Dr. Thomas Slawig (ts@informatik.uni-kiel.de)
Please refrain from submitting application photos.
The deadline for applications is Ocotber 31st 2015.
For more information contact Prof. Dr. Thomas Slawig ts@informatik.uni-kiel.de or check the following website: https://www.algopt.informatik.uni-kiel.de/en
With kind regards,
